Study finds Wikipedia influences judicial behavior

You clearly don't edit much of Wikipedia if you think that. Their bias actually toward things that are in the news.

And since the news of today is only interested in the most extreme, that's the facts you'll find on Wikipedia.

Truthfully a much worse problem is that an average user cannot edit on Wikipedia. To edit on Wikipedia you need to have an obsessive personality, to constantly guard your edits and keep other editors from removing them.

And that bias is much worse than any other, you'll find a ton of information on matters that attract obsessive personalities, and much less on more normal subjects.

This reads like something coming from the obsessive side.

I don't have patience to do any of that, and I'm mostly just gave up on editing Wikipedia.

Every once in awhile I go to try to edit something and I'm reminded again how time-consuming it is.
