@Konfettispaghetti @monnier @RonSupportsYou @gleick ...Wikipedia is biased but that's simply because any written document or article has bias in some form. Wikipedia has however managed to create an inter-subjective reality we can agree upon for most parts, ofcourse parts of Wikipedia will stay controversial/contested but that's okay.

Well I guess it's only true if 'we' is defined as white cis men. Sorry to say

@Konfettispaghetti @monnier @RonSupportsYou @gleick ...maybe but it's the best we have, without Wikipedia the situation would be worse and everyone can volunteer to become editor !

But being the best we have shouldn't mean, not to try all we can to build something that is really good. You can contribute, but be prepared that the not at all diverse Admin crew will delete everything that's not important to them. Which is a lot.
Admins need to resign to get more diversity in the team.

@Konfettispaghetti @monnier @RonSupportsYou @gleick ..could be true, I don't know frankly, but I do know the management of (partly) volunteer organizations like this is very hard. Wikipedia has it's share of problems for sure.
