Alright, effective altruism, escape speed, Psalm 46, and Nineteen-day fast have been fixed, I added a warning to transgenerational trauma, and I started a discussion on ideological bias on Wikipedia.

@IsaacKing Also removed a false and uncited claim on Cryonics. Unlikely that one's sticking given how rabidly the editors on the talk page seem to be ignoring basic facts.

Cryonics edit has been reverted within minutes, no justification provided. Called it!

@IsaacKing I count 4/6 remaining so far (not counting the talk on ideological bias). I'm not sure the warning of transgenerational trauma will remain but I expect the rest to last.

@IsaacKing Didn't go hard enough on Psalm 46 imo. If this random conspiracy theory is so notable, why is it on this page and not the Shakespeare page?

@Shump Yeah I chickened out of deleting that one, seemed hard to justify.

I still need to go argue about the others, I haven't checked what people have said yet.

What I find most shocking about these articles is that you can see in the talk pages that people have noticed the problems years ago, but just haven't fixed them. The Ceramic Chemistry one has talk pages more than 10 years old documenting the same problems that exist today. It seems to me that everyone is just afraid of making any big changes.

@Shump I think that's accurate, yeah. Definitely describes me when I first started editing; it's a worldwide resource and any stupid thing I do could be seen by thousands of people!

But this leads to a bystander effect where everyone brings up issues and expects somebody else to fix them, so of course nobody does. Hence my new approach of just fixing stuff first and arguing about it afterwards.
