He seriously interfered with a government directed radio station of some sort when he was in office last time (<a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.npr.org/2020/06/18/879873926/trumps-new-foreign-broadcasting-ceo-fires-news-chiefs-raising-fears-of-meddling">https://www.npr.org/2020/06/18/879873926/trumps-new-foreign-broadcasting-ceo-fires-news-chiefs-raising-fears-of-meddling</a>). Will it be necessary for you to move Wikipedia operations overseas or is it already handled in some other way? I'm sorry to voice my concern this directly, but: I'd rather this didn't turn into conservapedia mkII and have Trump attempt to re-write history. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/75.142.254.3" title="Special:Contributions/75.142.254.3">75.142.254.3</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:75.142.254.3" title="User talk:75.142.254.3">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-75.142.254.3-20241110191500-Will_you_be_moving_operations_overseas?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:15, 10 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-75.142.254.3-20241110191500-Will_you_be_moving_operations_overseas?"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-75.142.254.3-20241110191500-Will_you_be_moving_operations_overseas?"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-20241110192200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"></span>The Wikimedia community is editorially independent of the foundation and has remained so during Trump's first presidency, so I see no reason to be worried. <a href="/wiki/User:Pppery" title="User:Pppery">* Pppery *</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Pppery" title="User talk:Pppery"><sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Pppery-20241110192200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:22, 10 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Pppery-20241110192200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Pppery-20241110192200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-75.142.254.3-20241110193500-Pppery-20241110192200"></span>Do you mean the users or a part of the body of wikipedia itself?

That said, if there were to be a concerted push by the incoming president and his allies to suppress certain information streams and target free speech that aligns against him, it would not be the first time that he sent shockwaves through the legal world by finding success in overturning long-established doctrines that were until recently thought iron-clad and inviolable, by appearing before a federal judiciary that is now showing the influence of decades of concerted efforts by the GOP and the Federalist Society to pack those courts to the gills with ideologically-aligned and personally loyal jurists. In short, nothing is certain in the current political and institutional landscape. I just don't think a whole-sale move of the organization and its technical infrastructure is either feasible or likely to substantially obviate the risks. The only answer is to take up the fight when and where it occurs. <i><a href="/wiki/User:Snow_Rise" title="User:Snow Rise"><b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Snow_Rise" title="User talk:Snow Rise"><sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Snow_Rise-20241117201900-Galobtter-20241111043400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:19, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Snow_Rise-20241117201900-Galobtter-20241111043400"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Snow_Rise-20241117201900-Galobtter-20241111043400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Jimbo_Wales-20241122115200-Snow_Rise-20241117201900"></span>I'd just like to add that the Federalist Society is not opposed to the First Amendment, and indeed has been staunchly supportive of what it is and what it means in terms of campaign finance.

And actually, in that case, I could forgive their not having one: in that case, it's hard to predict for once bedrock civil and constitutional principles flying out the window, or know the exact combination of legal angle of attack and political pressure which may lead to such outcomes. Unlike certain other recent scenarios where the manner in which things have played out was mostly predictable, there is a lot that could very much be up in the air. The Justice Department will certainly be headed by a political loyalist for the next four years, and SCOTUS and many of the other federal courts are incredibly friendly to right wing causes, but the MAGA movement as a whole has not tended to attract the sharpest of legal minds for advocates, and not withstanding the election results, there is a lot of cultural attachment remaining in the U.S. for robust free speech protections--which afterall, conservative politicians are typically as happy to invoke and benefit from as anyone. So it's very difficult to know how concerned to be or what angle to expect the erosion of expression rights to set in from, if it does occur. In this case, I would sympathize if the WMF felt as much ina holding pattern as the rest of us. <i><a href="/wiki/User:Snow_Rise" title="User:Snow Rise"><b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Snow_Rise" title="User talk:Snow Rise"><sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Snow_Rise-20241117203400-TheLegendofGanon-20241110202200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:34, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Snow_Rise-20241117203400-TheLegendofGanon-20241110202200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Snow_Rise-20241117203400-TheLegendofGanon-20241110202200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:7829:35FD:7F37:21A2-20241124003300-Snow_Rise-20241117203400"></span>It s about moderations, <a rel="nofollow" class="external free" href="https://www.wired.com/story/brendan-carr-fcc-trump-speech-social-media-moderation/">https://www.wired.com/story/brendan-carr-fcc-trump-speech-social-media-moderation/</a>.

But the one time this community was willing to flex its muscles to head off a legislative outcome that it felt was a danger to the fundamental viability of the project, the latent power of the project's reach, through the site/encyclopedia was made pretty obvious--and that strength was not trivial, utterly crushing legislation that had been sailing through congress. If pushed into a corner and forced to abandon its apolitical role, this movement is capable of coming back with potent counter-punches in terms of grassroots mobilization, and I think there is some perception of that fact out there now.</dd> <dd>There's also the massive legal warchest of the WMF to contend with (which so many on this project have groused about over recent years, but which was well-advised to build up, for exactly this moment in time). Of course, the current ANI situation raises significant concerns about the ability of the WMF and the community to row together, which is one of the most concerning things about that situation. But the WMF will not have the same onerous sub judice principles giving it both legitimate and illegitimate reasons not to communicate clearly with us (at least nowhere near to the same degree) with regard to suits before U.S. courts. <i><a href="/wiki/User:Snow_Rise" title="User:Snow Rise"><b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Snow_Rise" title="User talk:Snow Rise"><sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Snow_Rise-20241117205100-SunDawn-20241114060100" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:51, 17 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Snow_Rise-20241117205100-SunDawn-20241114060100"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Snow_Rise-20241117205100-SunDawn-20241114060100"></span></dd> <dd><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99-20241123181400-SunDawn-20241114060100"></span>Strongly Disagree.

But if you want to prepare for the worst, as it were, and you have a machine with some extra disk space, consider periodically keeping an updated copy of the Wikipedia database dump. I get one periodically, just in case, since I've got plenty of spare space on this machine anyway. If worst ever came to worst, plenty of volunteers have the technical skill to get a DB dump up and working on a MediaWiki instance elsewhere, and run it at least while things are sorted out. I doubt it'll ever come to that, but if you want to be prepared just in case, well, the more widely copies of those are available, the better. Just remember that Wikipedia was <i>completely</i> run by volunteers once, from software development to sysadmins, and we could do it again if we had to. <a href="/wiki/User:Seraphimblade" title="User:Seraphimblade">Seraphimblade</a> <small><sup><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Seraphimblade" title="User talk:Seraphimblade">Talk to me</a></sup></small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Seraphimblade-20241114061200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:12, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Seraphimblade-20241114061200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Seraphimblade-20241114061200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Donald_Albury-20241114181900-Seraphimblade-20241114061200"></span>The biggest problem would be providing sufficient server capacity to handle the traffic. Anybody can put up a static mirror of WP as it was on the download date (Lord knowns there are a lot of those on the Internet), but providing an editable version that would be used by a large proportion of current editors would be pretty expensive. And if there were more than one editable version out there, it would be very difficult to ever merge the changes back into a single database, with some clones becoming permanent forks, perhaps sponsored by governments and other large entities. <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Donald_Albury" title="User talk:Donald Albury">Donald Albury</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Donald_Albury-20241114181900-Seraphimblade-20241114061200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:19, 14 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Donald_Albury-20241114181900-Seraphimblade-20241114061200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Donald_Albury-20241114181900-Seraphimblade-20241114061200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Snow_Rise-20241118074900-Donald_Albury-20241114181900"></span>I've thought of the technical feasibility of a forked encyclopedia more the last few weeks than I have in the last ten years. Not as a serious exercise in making any plans, but just as a consequences of thinking about the relationship between the project and the WMF and what actually keep volunteers invested in this particular, traditional and only mode of building the encyclopedia. Aside from the obvious organizational and cultural ties, there's the obvious cost of maintaining ongoing access and development that you talk about, but then there's also the liabilities and legal fees. If circumstances were drastic enough to take Wikipedia itself down, it would be hard to shield any project with a big enough profile to be able to afford the access and tools for readers and editors from whatever legal forces had compromised Wikipedia's viability in the first place. Even redundancy different jurisdictions wouldn't necessarily obviate the kinds of threats that would be sufficient to take the original Wikipedia out of the picture. <i><a href="/wiki/User:Snow_Rise" title="User:Snow Rise"><b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Snow_Rise" title="User talk:Snow Rise"><sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Snow_Rise-20241118074900-Donald_Albury-20241114181900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:49, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Snow_Rise-20241118074900-Donald_Albury-20241114181900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Snow_Rise-20241118074900-Donald_Albury-20241114181900"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Snow_Rise-20241118075000-Snow_Rise-20241118074900"></span>You know, unless it's a case of tearing itself apart, I suppose... <i><a href="/wiki/User:Snow_Rise" title="User:Snow Rise"><b style="color:#19a0fd;">S</b><b style="color:#66c0fd">n</b><b style="color:#99d5fe;">o</b><b style="color:#b2dffe;">w</b><b style="color:#B27EB2;">Rise</b></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Snow_Rise" title="User talk:Snow Rise"><sup><b style="color:#d4143a"> let's rap</b></sup></a></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Snow_Rise-20241118075000-Snow_Rise-20241118074900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:50, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Snow_Rise-20241118075000-Snow_Rise-20241118074900"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Snow_Rise-20241118075000-Snow_Rise-20241118074900"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Donald_Albury-20241118150800-Snow_Rise-20241118074900"></span>I hadn't thought about the legal side.

Many of you seem unaware that the threats you are facing are <i>unprecedented</i>. Trump attempted a coup in 2020 and during his campaign he <i>actually said</i> he wants to be a dictator. Or how else are we to interpret such things as "If you vote for me, you don't have to vote at all in four years"? He didn't say all this back in 2016. Neither did he employ such rascals in his government as he is planning to do know. Therefore I find the argument that we lived through Trump's first presidency unharmed very unconvincing.</dd> <dd>He and his loyal servants have expressed their contempt of science on numerous occasions, most recently J.D. Vance by saying "professors are the enemy". With both houses of the Congress and the Supreme Court in Republican hands, checks and balances aren't worth much, especially since the party has shown an unfaltering loyalty for its Great Leader over the past few years. A major <a href="/wiki/Gleichschaltung" title="Gleichschaltung">Gleichschaltung</a> operation is to be expected. What matters most in situations like this is not the law but the sentiment of the people. And that sentiment seems to be strongly in favour of an authoritarian dictatorship. Under such conditions, laws are easily explained the way that best fits the regime.</dd> <dd>So for goodness' sake, move! Not just the servers, but also the WMF as a legal entity. I am well aware that no country on Earth is entirely safe of a populist threat, but the situation isn't as dire everywhere as it is in the US. Canada could be an option. Or Spain, one of the few European countries that still welcomes immigration of some sort. Do it, before it's too late!

Now might be a good time to reevaluate this and move one of them to another country. The WMF is quite good at employing a diverse multinational workforce scattered across the planet, but it is very centralised when it comes to fundraising, a more distributed model where funds raised in particular countries were controlled by affiliate charities or chapters in those countries would in my view be stronger. At least it wouldn't have a single point of failure. <i><a href="/wiki/User:WereSpielChequers" title="User:WereSpielChequers"><span style="color:DarkGreen">Ϣere</span></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:WereSpielChequers" title="User talk:WereSpielChequers"><span style="color:DarkRed">Spiel</span></a><span style="color:#CC5500">Chequers</span></i> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:02, 18 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99-20241123182300-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200"></span>The problem is wikimedia begin subject of thr incoming Fcc laws. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99" title="Special:Contributions/2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99">2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99" title="User talk:2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99-20241123182300-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99-20241123182300-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-2A01:E0A:401:A7C0:64A1:A0FD:CDDA:2E99-20241123182300-WereSpielChequers-20241118150200"></span></dd></dl></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Abzeronow-20241123195500-75.142.254.3-20241110191500"></span>I don't think the WMF has contingency plans for any potential authoritarian steps Trump may take, and as seen with the ANI case, may obey any legal demands the Trump Administration makes of them.

posting this here because it has very broad implications for the project and may require foundation help in the coming weeks. Wikipedia articles on energy and the environment and other many other subjects rely on data from US government web sites, which are generally regarded as authoritative. There is a significant likelihood that many or all of these sites will be taken offline after January 20, 2025 when the US administration changes over. Is the foundation participating in any organized effort to back this material up? Can we just rely on the Internet Archive? What happens if the new administration puts up conflicting data? Will editors be free to "correct" articles based on what newer Government websites say, regardless of scientific backing? We do not have a lot of time to think this through.--<a href="/wiki/User:ArnoldReinhold" title="User:ArnoldReinhold">agr</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:ArnoldReinhold" title="User talk:ArnoldReinhold">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200-The_future_of_US_government_web_sites_as_sources" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:02, 1 December 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200-The_future_of_US_government_web_sites_as_sources"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200-The_future_of_US_government_web_sites_as_sources"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-RoySmith-20241201194400-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"></span>I understand (and share) your concern, but deciding which sources are reliable is an editorial decision which the WMF does not get involved in. Sources that were once considered reliable can have their reputation reevaluated if conditions warrant, and even sources that are generally considered reliable should always be examined with a critical eye to ensure that any particular statement holds up to the general reputation.</dd> <dd>This is an important issue, but it's just not one that the WMF has any input on. I would suggest asking this at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:RS" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia talk:RS">WT:RS</a> or perhaps <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RSN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RSN">WP:RSN</a>. <a href="/wiki/User:RoySmith" title="User:RoySmith">RoySmith</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:RoySmith" title="User talk:RoySmith">(talk)</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-RoySmith-20241201194400-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-RoySmith-20241201194400-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-RoySmith-20241201194400-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Novem_Linguae-20241202002700-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"></span>As far as I know, whenever something is cited on Wikipedia, the Internet Archive automatically takes a snapshot of it. You can contact someone like <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:GreenC">GreenC</a></span> to confirm this.</dd> <dd>The rest of your post seems like it would be a good fit for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RSN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RSN">WP:RSN</a>. Reliable sources have become unreliable before, and RSN can handle reducing a source's ranking on the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RSPSOURCES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RSPSOURCES">WP:RSPSOURCES</a> list when that situation comes to pass. A note will even be added to the entry stating that it used to be reliable, and after what date it became unreliable. However, it might be jumping the gun to post about this before it actually happens. There's not really anything to do yet. –<a href="/wiki/User:Novem_Linguae" title="User:Novem Linguae"><span style="color:blue"><b>Novem Linguae</b></span></a> <small>(<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Novem_Linguae" title="User talk:Novem Linguae">talk</a>)</small> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Novem_Linguae-20241202002700-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">00:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Novem_Linguae-20241202002700-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Novem_Linguae-20241202002700-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"></span></dd> <dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Hog_Farm-20241203020100-ArnoldReinhold-20241201190200"></span>Do you have a specific source for the allegations that <span class="example" style="font-family: Georgia, 'DejaVu Serif', serif; color: var(--color-content-added, #006400);">many or all of these sites will be taken offline after January 20, 2025</span>? Yes, the Dept. of Ed website's not going to be up anymore if that agency is axed, but this isn't the first post that I've seen here predicting that the administration change will be the end of America as we know it. Yes, if the energy/climate/public health sites go downhill we can/will revisit how we handle those sources. But all of this doom and gloom is overwrought, like when people I knew thought Obama was the antichrist or that Hillary was going to put Christians into death camps. This is Wikipedia, not Reddit.

These are pretty easy to take care of, since they have virtually zero social capital on Wikipedia. They can be overruled and the community is ready to ban them at the drop of a hat if they get frustrated and lash out. Now we can look forward to four years where the main agitators will be left-wing nuts and <a href="/wiki/The_Resistance_(American_political_movement)" title="The Resistance (American political movement)">#Resistance</a>. This is harder to deal with because these people <i>do</i> have social capital on Wikipedia and have wikifriends (including several established editors and admins) to come back them up in disputes or tilt consensus.
