In the Resurgence from February 24 subsection of the GameStop short squeeze article, I wrote, "GameStop reported on their Form 10-Q that, as of June 1, 2023, their investors had directly registered (DRSed) 76.6 million shares with their transfer agent via the direct registration system."
I appreciate you keeping watch! I just checked the article, and I see still the sentence that I wrote at the end of the introductory paragraph. I also checked the revision history, and my edit is the latest. I also tried logging out of my account, and I still see the the sentence that I wrote. So no reversion yet!
I'm confused then.. when I view the page I do not see the December edit:
Appropriately, the word 'cede' means to 'give up (power or territory)'https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/cede#English because investors give up their stock and companies give up their shareholders to an intermediary.{{Cite conference| publisher = SSRN| pages = 1–66| last = Donald| first = David C.| title = Rise and effects of the indirect holding system: How corporate America ceded its shareholders to intermediaries| date = 2007-09-26| url = https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1017206}}
Nice. I support any attempt to get the truth out there and educate people with it.
However, I'd be prepared for some strong resistance if you are going against the legacy media narratives and wouldn't hold too much hope, though I do very much respect the effort and thank you for it all the same.
Wikipedia, in my opinion, is a full-blown propaganda tool of the regime(s) and powers that be at this point and I question what I read there today more than I ever have.
Let's fix this broken and corrupted system for not only ourselves, but for future generations. I'm more hopeful than I've been in quite some time to see common people trying to enact peaceful change by gathering in decentralized public and private squares like this here on Lemmy.
Thanks for the heads up! The 663 upvotes on the Reddit post show that even a one-sentence edit in Wikipedia can get noticed!
I'm always looking for opportunities to break the containment, so I sent the following message to /u/ShredManyGnar:
I just read your post "I do not concede defeat" on r/superstonk about Cede and Company. We're working on a project to edit Wikipedia to provide the facts about DRS and GameStop. For more information, please check out the following post on Lemmy:
I found the two revisions from your screenshot in the revision history. I can't view the revision from the user with the IP address because of the alleged copyright violation. Do you know what that revision contained? What does your screenshot intend to show?
