  • Photos and videos often look a little dim and washed out on my phone, but this one is particularly affected. Did you convert from raw to jpg to post, without doing any adjustments? Darktable is free open source software that can help with this, though you might need to watch a tutorial. I only mention it because the photo has the potential to really pop.




  • Has the accuracy of the snapshots actually changed based on this edit? After all, if it’s factual information being presented…

    Yes! Quite literally, yes. They’re supposed to be an archive of what is on other sites. It doesn’t matter if the original site was, right, wrong, complete, incomplete, accurate, inaccurate, factual, unfactual, etc. If they change things, they’re editorializing and are no longer an archive, they’re new content - which is not the purpose people use them for.

    I do agree that it raises the issue of what other modifications there may be,

    That’s literally the point. It doesn’t matter how much you “understand the reasoning” (though you also think it’s childish and don’t agree with the actions). You can use it if you want to, no one is stopping you. The point is Wikipedia can’t trust it as a source of archived data and has every right to ban it.
