Trump actively attacks your media.
Trump is far-right wing just like this dictator.
Trump supports "alternative" news which has zero citations or evidence.

Wikipedia is as accurate as the citations that the Articles were built from.
Some of the citations were pretty grey and that brought down some of the articles.
Sadly, your average pundit doesn't even understand what a citation is, let alone check it for their school work.
Wikipedia is still a great source of information and shouldn't be shunned, people just need to learn to use it properly, that's all.

Indonesia is a bit iffy. They are my neighbours. And they aren't always nice.
| konnichiwa said: Malaysia and Indonesia are not great countries for christians. |
Indonesia has some shining areas that are great for Christians, such as Bali.
| ArnoldRimmer said: One should at least mention WHY the turkish government is blocking Wikipedia, how they justify it. |
There is really no justification for blocking the right to protest, speech, expression, journalism, information. etc'. It's dictatorship mentality, plain and simple... The irony is, Turkey was always a shining example for Islamic states to aspire towards.
You don't have to agree with someone's opinion (Whether it is a wikipedia article or not...) but their right to said opinion should always be respected even if they are incorrect, you win people over with debate, facts, reason, logic. Not by shutting their voice down.
There have been some stupidly terrible democratically elected presidents/prime ministers across the planet, most tend not to block the flow of information/opinion.
