Political Weirdos

The methods that Wikipedia uses to determine appropriate sources and correcting "bad edits" is highly susceptible to status quo bias from it's home country. This means that Wikipedia has a very heavy bias towards history from a US perspective. In most situations, it doesn't really matter. However if you're trying to look into political research (or anything else controversial) it's a very poor tool. Governments love this setup, because this knowledge manipulation seems innocuous until it isn't.

Edit: since it seems folks are already a couple mugs of eggnog deep, I'd like to clarify my point. There are legitimate and worthwhile criticisms of Wikipedia, but none worthy of mass defunding. We shouldn't let some fascist like Musk control the conversation.
