I noticed Wikipedia's obvious bias seven or so years ago, and since then have always scrutinised what I read there. It is the same with AI engines like ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity: you always have to check its output. When you sharpen a knife you test it by cutting a tomato or checking for the absence of a burr. I do not think it is possible to create an entirely neutral information repository. For example we do not know if President Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald alone, or with the help of other assassins. An article could relate the best known facts, but point out where these facts are not certain or where there are alternative perspectives.

Shocked that anybody thinks Wiki is an accurate source about anything. Of course being a Jew they've been lying about us for years.

A lot of people say we need a new Wikipedia. But they don't know how. The best way to do this is through a meta-layer that can surface context. We have all kinds of context-surfacing systems in real-life like courts and doctor visits, but we don't have any reliable ones online. Check out themetalayer.org

I stopped editing after years of active work because of the meat puppets pushing agendas.
