Wikipedia Admins to be Noted

Post by Abbe Busoni » Thu Mar 14, 2024 1:38 pm

What are the most egregious examples of bias on Wikipedia you guys have found? I've always known Wikipedia was very biased, but even I was surprised when I started looking at the personal views of the members and how radical they were even by modern standards. In your experience, who are the most politicized admins? Good quotes are always welcome too.

the most biased article ive seen on wikipedia is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_or_ ... nald_Trump

most biased policy or policy-like thing is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:No_Nazis ... the wikipedians will say 'JUST AN ESSAY NOT POLICY' yet this 'essay' gets thrown around more than most policies.

the most biased admin imho would be Tamzin. who wrote the above essay/policy-like thing, by the way.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I've already documented Tamzin actually, even using this forum, specifically the Rfa where he was promoted. He seems to be the most biased, but there are many other contenders!

Welcome!

The most biased article I would say is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecuti ... s_in_China (which was until recently called "Uyghur Genocide")
"Globally banned" since September 5, 2023 for exposing harassment.
