Wikipedia is overall excellent, and it has certainly brought enormous value to me throughout the years.

But it is noticeably biased on any topic that has political implications.

History and many fields of science also have political implications, and you’ll find just as much editorial slant there, too

[lambdaone]

This would be the reality-based editorial slant, then? What are you proposing as an alternative?

[thiht]

Can't wait for the specific examples

[jyscao]

What for? To start a flame war? No one is going to get convinced one way or the other.

Which was why I just wanted to point out that while I think Wikipedia is a net good overall, it is not without blemishes.

[lysace]

This kind of bias is a statistical measure; typically you can't prove or disprove it using a single sample.

It's about larger patterns, which things are talked about and (crucially) which are not. How much attention is given to things and not.

So many parroting the same "bias" line here, yet not a single example has been linked.
