This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page in a nutshell: Stating that "Wikipedia is biased" is incorrect, as Wikipedia merely follows what reliable sources say. Wikipedia is foremost a methodology for information triage. It can be imperfect, and it will always tend to follow the mainstream view, but its editors cannot bias it in the long run. |
Regularly on talk pages, some users complain that "Wikipedia is biased", usually when their POV-pushing edits get reverted. Other editors do claim that Wikipedia indeed is biased towards certain point of views. Both are incorrect statements.
