This is not true anymore. From Wikipedia founder Larry Sanger:

>Wikipedia Is Badly Biased

https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/

It's completely untrustworthy on anything remotely political. Very, very mainstream narrative compliant/reinforcing.

- Every page has a steward who (thanklessly) keeps the information accurate, up-to-date, and ad-free

And many of them inject their personal biases.

For hard science stuff, math, and celebrities, it's pretty trustworthy but as I said, anything remotely politicized will always have the same slant.

A bunch of people claim "heavy slant", but considering how Wikipedia requires citing sources, I have strong doubts about the severity.

Is the complaint here really that some political narratives don't like being reminded what they have said or promised?
