OK here’s the article on Freud that has paragraphs about Jacques Lacan and Wilhelm Reich as major contributors to psychoanalysis, and mentions nowhere William James who created the field of Psychology. Not to mention how James and Freud’s direct predecessor Husserl laid the philosophical groundwork for both men’s work, through phenomenology, and Freud strayed from it, to both the peril of his work, and to the field of Psychology in general.
That’s not bs though. That’s just an omission of some information that you feel passionately about. You could become an editor and add the missing information.
that’s an omission that is so big, it shaped the trajectory of psychology for 100 years, and not in a good way, and here Wikipedia is continuing the false narrative, feeding further into the problem.
It’d be like mentioning ww2 without the Holocaust or Hiroshima.
Wikipedias a great starting point if you don’t know anything about a topic, but its dangerous and incorrect to take it as fact.
If it’s so big. Fix it. If you can’t fix it but proving the facts, it’s not a fact. If you can prove it, and change it, do it. That’s literally what Wikipedia is about
I’ve tried to suggest edits before but its gatekept by tech expertise, robots, and huge-ego mods whom don’t want to talk to you.
Ironically, this is part of what keeps Wikipedia largely accurate.
If they wanted to take its accuracy to the next level, they’d have to employe more humans, which would cost so much money, they’d have to start charging for Wikipedia, unless it became government funded.
Let’s see some please.
