The wikipedia article on gopher is a trainwreck
July 19th, 2021
----------------------------------------
Oh boy, I have spent a few hours today editing the Wikipedia article
on gopher (protocol)... I have to say, I am not impressed by the actions
of some other editors there... The article has a section for web
browsers which support gopher, and folks are adding their gopher-only
clients (i.e. they don't do WWW at all) to that section as a shameless
form of self-promotion. Offenders include ACID (a closed-source and
potentially malware gopher, TFTP, and G6 client), Gophie (gopher-only),
and Lagrange (gopher, finger, and gemini client)...
The web clients section desperately needs to be reconsiled with the
Template:Gopher_clients too...
Other issues with the article include presenting grossly obsolete
software as-if it was maintained. MSIE6? Come on folks.
What a mess. Any help is appreciated. Also comments on the talk page.

At least 2326 other folks realize that web browsers != gopher clients.
