Asian News International has brought a lawsuit against the WikiMedia Foundation and three anonymous editors. It is claiming defamation because its Wikipedia article said that it was a propaganda outlet. In at least one case, an editor is being brought to court solely for restoring the unexplained removal of sourced content. Although the WikiMedia Foundation is not headquartered in this court's jurisdiction, it is expected to deliver the personal information of these editors and put them directly in harm's way. Unless the WikiMedia Foundation makes clear that it will not disclose this information under any circumstances, I cannot find the motivation to contribute to the project any further.
I'm Thebiguglyalien (he/him), but I also answer to TBUA, BUA, and Alien. I'm a lifelong resident of Arizona, and I have a bachelor's degree in political science. I created my account in 2015, my first edit was in 2017, and I became a regular contributor in February 2022.
Most of my contributions involve content writing, often overhauling unloved articles to get them to good article status. I also engage in review work from time to time. You might see me around Women in Green, Good Article Nominations, or any one of the brief interests I pursue before moving on to something else.
I edit in several areas, but my main focuses are history and political science. I also edit extensively about Botswana, because I believe systemic bias is best fought with deep coverage rather than wide but shallow coverage. If you are reading this, I challenge you to pick an underrepresented country and write everything you can about it.
Any allegations that I'm an alien from Mars bent on intergalactic conquest are entirely baseless and unfounded.
