I am continuing with the project to edit Wikipedia articles about GameStop and DRS. I expect that this will take both vigilance and good citations. For example, in the article Cede and Company, I wrote, "Appropriately, the word 'cede' means to 'give up (power or territory)' because investors give up their stock and companies give up their shareholders to an intermediary." I cited "Rise and effects of the indirect holding system system: How corporate America ceded its shareholders to intermediaries".

How you can help:

Challenge: Get the word 'DRS' to stay in the article GameStop short squeeze.

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:

This is the way, keeping channels open and helping people find this one.
