A new movement is sweeping through right-wing circles and gaining momentum, a campaign to fix the alleged ideological bias and faux neutrality of Wikipedia. Leading the charge is the website’s cofounder, Larry Sanger. If ever there were a time for such a crusade to form, it would be now.

 As possibly the largest repository of information in the world, Wikipedia has the power to shape collective memories and historical records. It is often the first thing people see when looking through Google and other search engines; the summaries are almost impossible to avoid. More concerning, however, is that the online encyclopedia is one of the top sources of training data for large language models, which means it’s where much of what AI chatbots relay to their users comes from. Over the years, many people have argued that the platform leans heavily to the left, but the complaints didn’t gain much traction. Now that might all change. And if it backfires, Elon Musk may have a solution.

Wikipedia and the Dream of Neutrality...

Sanger published a manifesto last month called the “9 Theses”: propositions to overhaul Wikipedia and return it to its neutral roots. He introduced these during an appearance on Tucker Carlson’s podcast in September and posted them on his Wikipedia page. One of the biggest problems he highlighted was what the nonprofit considers “reliable sources.”

Wikipedia keeps a growing and vast list of outlets it deems reliable, dependable, generally reliable, deprecated, generally unreliable, or blacklisted. The acceptable sources lean decidedly left and include outlets such as PinkNewsHuffington PostAl Jazeera, MSNBC, The NationThe New RepublicMother Jones, and NPR. Right-wing sources, such as Fox News, The New York Post, and The Daily Caller, are labeled unreliable.

So it only took you 10 years to figure out that Wikipedia was just another SEE-EYE-A propaganda front?  :rofl:

Wikipedia has been a leftist mouthpiece for years. The only thing wikipedia is useful for is looking up something that is completely non-political to get some general information from. For example, let's see what years Ford Mustangs had this particular bodystyle. Go look up literally any political figure on there. Anyone who is Republican? Name drug through the mud. A Democrat? A **** saint. Everytime. Wikipedia allows anyone to edit pages which equals any blue-haired TDS **** to get on there and write garbage. Why? Because they don't have real jobs. Wikipedia, nor mainstream media outlets are credible sources. BV just can't wrap his little head around that.

Its roots was always rewriting evolution from currently evolving by social consensus before into the philosophy nobody can understand evolution is eternal separation of current reproductions inhabiting space 24/7.

Any social debate between what if we and what about they, them, those people won't comply legislates morality, legality, ethics, economics sustains reasonable doubt between current 5 primary ancestral lineages and current 5 generation gaps each rotation of the planet since dawn of civilization promised better tomorrows 7 days a week than current reproductions have evolved eternally separated so far.
