>Now things that are controversial like IQ or the role of heritability in ability are surely going to be problematic. FYI this kind of "wrong think" is already being removed in many articles. The way it's removed is applying the existing deep and numerous rules more strictly to information which cuts against the current dominant cultural narratives. For one of the best examples I can provide, have a look at how the "Feminism" and "Men's Rights" pages are written. Completely different standards for evidence, commentary, style, and even sections. Criticism of men's rights is evident in the heading, while of course, there is no criticism of feminism in Feminism's heading. Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger has described Wikipedia as "badly biased." He's 100% correct. |

Larry Sanger is involved with several competitors, including some for-profit examples, so he has a financial incentive to bash wikipedia
Not to say that he is neccesarily wrong. I wouldn't say "badly biased", but nobody is going to claim wikipedia is perfect.
