Anything not to do with STEM is probably biased. It’s the nature of those subjects.

The cofounder of WP himself says the site is compromised.

Yeah, I think the Trump era pretty much killed NPOV on wikipedia.

I’m curious to know too, but not only is there no response, my original comment seems have been downvoted into relative oblivion.

The last time I commented on WP, the same thing happened. Interesting.

This is because Larry Sanger is crazy. There are legitimate criticisms of Wikipedia to be made, but citing them to Sanger makes them weaker not stronger.

Calling Sanger “crazy” is not helpful.

The same tag could be applied to almost anyone creative from Tesla to Picasso to Musk.

Do you have anything more enlightening than "Larry Sanger is crazy"? It's not a particularly substantive critique.

Important to note the co-founder has been desperately trying to usurp Wikipedia essentially since it became popular, his opinions on the site should be taken with a heavy pinch of salt.
