The act of Wikipedian
editors "cancelling" wikipedia edits that are from anonymous contributors.
"Good Faith Edits" is an unfortunate methodology used by Wikipedia editors to erase the contributions of anyone who they deem is "uncredentialed" or anonymous. It is
lazy editing by editors who wield absolute
power, WITHOUT exercising good faith due diligence, to VERIFY the quality and importance of edits!
"Good Faith Edits" is basically a cynical netizen initiative to ensure Wikipedia is no longer a truly open source resource. So Wikipedia is becoming a resource where an arbitrary handful of people get to decide what gets published and what does not. Editors have absolute
power in determining what is "relevant", and what isn't.
Basically, "Good Faith Edits" are
proof technology that used to assume "good faith" egalitarianism on the part of all users, is moving towards a broader cybernetic
fascist goal.
"Dang! I anonymously added some birthdays of Pulitzer and Nobel prize winners to Wikipedia. But because it was anonymous, it
violated the arbitrarily new "Good Faith Edits" code, so they removed all my contributions! Without even bothering to
actually vet the quality of my edits, they proclaim I was acting in "bad faith", and THEY are the
ones doing "Good Faith Editing"!
