Dark mode needs some work

rucklehouse on

United States

Love the app but my main complaint is that tables are hard to read in dark mode. Colored cells do not transfer over and sometimes text stays black

Corrupt and untrusted source of information‼️

Metatron32 on

United States

This is no longer a safe and collaborative space to share information. It has become corrupted and made into a zone for propaganda and control. This is so sad to see! I won’t be donating anymore to Wikipedia unless they find a way to keep the information trustworthy.

Handy and Helpful!

Mr. Encourager on

United States

I use Wikipedia just about on a daily basis. As a busy pastor, I need access to information that is reliable, relevant, and applicable! Wikipedia is my go to! It’s worth millions but it’s free!!!

Lacks integrity
