    So that means…

    The moon landing is highly contested.

    The shape of the Earth is highly contested.

    Shit like this is why I had to leave Wikipedia. Trolls and paid shills can lock up any meaningful edit/argument forever if they want to. And the people running Wikipedia are no different.
