2004-12-29T22:45Z - I just think Wiikipedia has a systematic bias against many things biology and nature and chemistry and countryside. Specifically, it has a systematic bias when it comes to topics about sexuality. Wikipedia centers too much on human sexuality, but disregards things about biology that are essential to discussing sexuality. For, example, Wikipedia doesn't care to distinguish between "pregnancy" and "gestation" or sexual intercourse" and "copulation". Here on Wikipedia many people think that the world is just about the human world but not nature or natural sciences.
52 Pickup - History, geography and politics in Australia and Europe. Attempting to reduce misuse and abuse of non-English words and inaccurate translations. Set up WikiProject Former countries as a way of providing a neutral framework for presentation of historical states. I also work on translating and clarifying articles from the German and Dutch wikis.
A R King - Expertise in minority languages, both in and outside Europe. I am also "informally" interested in related non-linguistic issues, such as cultural/political etc. minorities. While sympathetic with the overall concept of trying to compensate for systemic bias, I think SB will always exist (and therefore always need to be fought against) because it is inherent to the encyclopaedic project. I also think it is deceiving (and betrays bias) to think that the English Wikipedia can or should be "unbiased", as opposed to other-language Wikipedias, which are what? allowed to be biased??
AD64
Aelffin - This is a very good effort. The possibility of representing all points of view is one of the great possibilities that comes from Wikipedia's lack of space limitations. Articles are not nearly as comprehensive as they could be.
User:Aetheling — Excellent effort! I have already been trying to improve articles relating to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
afamiglietti I'd like to contribute in any way I can afamiglietti (talk) 20:00, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
User:Afddiary - As a black female Wikipedian (from the USA) who is also a member of the LGBT community, I have noticed bias in all areas central to my identity, as well as in articles about topics regarding human rights and violations thereof, namely the death penalty. I'm hoping I can combat that by being a part. Afddiary (talk) 12:27, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Ahruman
AJR - I pretty much fit the description of the "average wikipedian", but I want to do what I can.
Alarm
Ali_B05 -I think that America has too much influence on world affairs and the way that people always have to follow them.
Alixos - helping indigenous peoples in Asia to add content to Wikipedia.
AlMac - I am a newbie here. My profession, for the past 40+ years, has been computer programming on mid sized computer networks, currently AS/400. I have had limited exposure to Analog Computers and other kinds. The vast majority of Wikipeans only know of Personal Computer which is a Systemic bias in discussing computer topics. AlMac 5 July 2005 21:26 (UTC)
Ambi 08:48, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC) This has my absolute support - brilliant idea, and I'll do all I can to help out.
Andrew🐉(talk)
ANGCHENRUI – I have my opinions on systemic bias, which you can always enquire on my talk page! All I shall say here is that I agree with the principles of this WikiProject, so I've planted myself here.
AnnalesSchool (talk) 03:00, 22 April 2014 (UTC) Hi,I'm here to ask if anyone wants to join me in countering bias against the Italians in WW2. If you feel that many Wiki articles dealing with the Italian military and Italy's involvement in the war are biased and unfair, please contact me as I am thinking of starting up a Task-force to counter this problem of systemic bias.[reply]
Anthon.Eff -The biases I am most conscious of are these three: anti-Turkish bias, pro-political correctness bias, and pro-secularis bias. I am hopeful that the first can be diminished. The latter two might be neccessary evils in an encylopedia that anyone can edit.
Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:06, 14 December 2010 (UTC) I'd like to contribute in any way I can.[reply]
Aramantha
Arbarulo
Arnob1 - Hope to counter pro-Indian bias in subcontinent related articles (see Rabindranath Tagore nationality debate).
Arny - Since I am not an "Average Wikipedian" (considering I am not a native English speaker), I hope I can be of some help in this. I consider myself mostly unbiased, or more precisely, when and where I am biased, it is almost always in the opposite direction than usual ;)
Artificialard
ArXivist - This is an excellent project idea! I have been having a problem with a group of users who are totally biased against and hostile towards alternative viewpoints. This is an example of systemic bias which I have not found when viewing articles in other language wikis. I think this project coupled with a reform in the WP:Reliable Sources standard to counter corporate, Anglo-American, and Anglophone bias would greatly help realize the ideal of Wikipedia as a universal knowledge repository.
AScanner - everyone deserves information
Asterion - Great idea!
Atsme - hopefully there is a project coordinator keeping the ball rolling. The issues have become so complex, it's hard to distinguish between gender bias, political bias, cultural bias, COI editing, and Advocacy editing. It is all beginning to run together.
Attilios 17:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC) I'm having a clash with a couple of users (in particular User:Mangoe) regularly reverting my edits trying to offer a broeader point of view about rail technology. Further, I cannot stand US or UK people forgetting to write nationality of article subjects.[reply]
AugurNZ ✐⌕ 11:46, 20 September 2013 (UTC) — While trying to write an article about a disability-related event, I encountered this systemic bias when, while trying to assert notability for my new article, most of the sources I could find were from non-mainstream media. I was told by a host at the Teahouse that if none of the mainstream media covered the festival, "then it isn't notable by Wikipedia's standards. That's how we roll. That's how we maintain our standards." The problem is, the mainstream media tend to wholly ignore events about or for the disabled community, so this attitude perpetuates a systemic bias in Wikipedia against disability as well. I have added WikiProject Disability to the WikiProjects relevant for countering systemic bias category.[reply]
AugusteBlanqui
User:AusLondonder Particularly interested in fighting absurd deletion nominations of non-English speaking countries and trying to improve articles related to Asia (particularly India and Pakistan) and Latin America. Concerned also with enforcing WP:STRONGNAT in relation to India, Pakistan, South Africa etc. AusLondonder (talk) 00:10, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Alex Avriette I'm more than happy to update articles with a "buddhist perspective," but I think it's important to notice also that many issues are simply irrelevant to buddhism. ... aa:talk 21:19, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Awadewit 03:33, 6 April 2007 (UTC) - I have been and will continue to improve articles regarding topics in the eighteenth century; I have been focusing on two traditionally underrepresented groups recently - women and children.[reply]
B. Fairbairn (talk) 05:47, 26 June 2011 (UTC) Wikipedia is by far the best website in the world when it comes to providing information on any subject. The only criticism I have is that owing to the large proportion of Americans who contribute to the site there is a distinctive bias. I am from another country and have found that there is a tendency among some of my compatriots not to use Wikipedia owing to the US bias present. Ameri-pedia is a term sometimes used to describe Wikipedia where I live. An example of bias is in the Superpower page. There are 3 images on the page: One shows Reagan and Gorbachev (which is entirely appropriate), and the other two are blatantly pro-American propaganda, one showing a massive US flag at the New York Stock Exhange and the other an American aircraft carrier. I have removed these images as not being appropriate to the page but other users keep undoing changes I make. The same applies to various other pages. Is there some way of stopping this bias from continually occurring?[reply]
B.D.Mills I have campaigned for some time on the issue of Northern Hemisphere bias, particularly the misleading usage of seasons as time references. More information on this issue may be found on my user page.
B.K.S.J. As an anthropologist who has studied what very different cultures have in common I can be helpful in identifying biases which may go unnoticed.

Barefact 07:44, 26 November 2008 (UTC) I am fascinated with Turkic history, and find that many WP articles pertaining to Turkic history are pathetic in content, deliberately impoverished to present a partial and debilitating picture. Many articles were completely deleted because they fall outside of Eurocentric vision. For an artticle completely devoid of its historical merits, see Kipchaks. Even the simple terminological coneventions need to be stripped from anti-Turkic bias.[reply]
Baristarim 17:15, 15 October 2006 (UTC) Noble idea. It seems like a vicious cycle, the only way we can truly have a Wiki free of a systematic bias is if everyone spoke all languages of the world and lived in every country of the world (geopolitical bias); achieved a utopia having achieved class equality (that way we can have construction workers who also contribute etc) and generalized scientific education on a global scale (inclusion of non-scientific myths and narratives as being more important than scientific versions). I will try my best though :)[reply]
bcatt - I am really noticing this bias in many ways. I think I have been successful in hoding it as a personal policy in my edits so far, but would like to up this effort to an more active level by specifically improving biased articles or portions thereof, and maybe even by specifically seeking out biased articles. Also wanted to note that a particular area of interest for me is a bias for highlighting, or treating as more important, articles on subjects that are very well known but restricted to a small or limited demographic than that of topics that are more widely (or even universally) applicable but are less well-known or realized. bcatt 00:51, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BD2412. Law - I will certainly try to be more conscious of the distinctions between the common law and civil law distinctions.
Bearian (talk) 17:18, 21 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Beowulf1 22:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC) - I've traveled and made friends broadly, including in the Middle East, so I could bring some of that experience to the table.[reply]
Ben Babcock - The "average demographic" describes me perfectly: young, interested in computers and physics, and I don't know much about agricultural science. But I'm willing to help out, and work on expanding my knowledge.
Ben Dawid - I have noticed a lot of arbitrary and unfair treatment of those who disagree with the extreme leftist agenda. The site could also do with some more traditional antipodean/South Pacific input, and more rural input worldwide.
Benzocane I think this is one of the most important efforts in the Wikiworld. I'm particularly interested in making sure that political articles don't exclude international perspectives.
Beth Wellington 22:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Big Adamsky - WP is a great source of facts and perspectives, with some pages containing biases and others overcompensating to preempt any accusations of bias, leading to bias ;-]. I have visited and lived in several countries and speak several languages and I feel I have a great deal to contribute in the fields of geography, history, current events and related social sciences.
BigK HeX (talk · contribs) - societal topics. Identifying undue weight given to minority POVs.
Bkwillwm - Native American and Latin American topics
blankfaze - I'd like to cut down on as much bias/POV in the project as possible, but I'd especially like to keep Israel and its related articles free of bias. Some users, I've noticed, are on a mission to install a pro-Israel POV in the project.
Blathnaid - I'll try to contribute to literature articles - there are a lot of works by significant authors that are missing or just stubs. Some history, geography and feminism too.
BlueSalix - I've noticed a lot of systemic bias in Asia-related entries. I'm motivated by this WikiProject.
B. M. L. Peters - Fighting bias on all fronts!
~ BOD ~ Gender mostly but also fighting discrimination on all fronts.
Boko78 - Religion. 'nuff said.
Bontenbal - I think that there is systematic bias of the European Union. It's far more important than most UK/US people seem to think.
Bookandcoffee - I have a rural background, and would like to bring that voice to W.
BookishAcolyte I'm especially interested in Feminist Studies and Science Studies-related stuff, but also willing to give a go to articles well outside that, especially if drawing on French-language sources will help.
BorgQueen (talk)
Bosola - I'm a fairly average wikipedia user, but I understand the importance of this issue, and I do have access to a fair few resources (I can access, if needs be, the Cambridge university library or if really needs be the british library- as such, I can get hold of some pretty handy stuff).
Brent Michael Davids - neutralizing American Indian articles of western bias, especially in American Indian music and relisious studies.
BRIAN0918
BrianSmithson - Working on African topics, particularly regarding Cameroon. Uploading African photos to illustrate articles whenever possible.
User:Brigade Piron - I hope to tackle bias on history articles, specifically African countries during the Second World War. Also working on very-much under represented Belgium-related articles.

Carolaman - I am from Sri Lanka. So I could do articles on Sri Lankan people and other Sri Lankan things. I also could do articles on people from other small countries.
CarolMooreDC 16:24, 8 February 2012 (UTC) Want to counter various biases vs. women and Muslims and Arabs particularly; also against libertarianism as a philosophy which crops up from time to time.[reply]
CasualObserver'48 04:41, 5 February 2008 (UTC) (From my user page) I received two degrees in the Earth Sciences (non-oil)…. Then I left, stuff happens, and I grew up as a citizen of the world (with American roots)… I returned to the US for most of the 1980's, but it seemed so different, too much keeping up with the Joneses, so 'fat, dumb and happy', too perfect on many levels and subjects, so unreal compared to the rest of the world….. I see no reason to move back, especially post-September 11; the world had indeed changed. The US and much of the western world is now a whole different place. Welcome to the Middle East, people.[reply]
I ♥ ♪♫ - I thought this sounded like a worthy project until read the entries of it's members. Does anybody dare to stand against anti-american, anti-christian, progressive, feminist, liberal biases and elitisms?Bias goes both ways, I value truly neutral POV.
Cedar Tree - I have found so much bias in Wikipedia articles, especially in articles pertaining to Native Americans and slavery in the United States. I'm also interested in increasing the viewpoints of rural areas (which are often not reported on in secondary sources) and LGBTQIA+ people.
Cerejota - Systemic bias is a scourge to the pillar of neutrality.
Cerie1914 - As a Cambodian (Khmer) and a reader of WP since 2001, I joined to help fill in the gap on Cambodian history and culture with fellow editors but disheartened to mostly encounter gatekeepers devoid of any active Cambodian editors. I hope to change this and encourage more representation in WP editors.

Cgingold (talk) - I've been dismayed by the level of ignorance and antipathy toward recognition of ethnic minorities in a certain contingent of editors -- usually under the guise of "color-blindness"
Charles Gaudette 08:21, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Charles Matthews - Main interests mathematics, where I have created biographies to include more Soviet, Indian, Chinese and Japanese mathematicians; poetry mainly Anglo-Irish 1900-1940 but Nancy Cunard brought me here; Go hence general interest in East Asia and this clean-up operation; Uganda about which I have hardly written on WP.
Chicaneo 06:47, 26 June 2007 (UTC) - decided to sign up since I'm countering systemic bias in the articles I edit anyway. I spend a lot of time trying to edit articles & expand stubs from Wikipedia:WikiProject Mexican-Americans but instead I find myself fighting off vandals, trolls, sockpuppets and Wikianarchists who want to use Wikipedia to express their hatred toward Mexican-Americans and/or Mexicans. (Many of them do not know the difference.) Their MO is to post pejorative terms, re-write articles to suit their POV, and engage in disruptive editing which creates a poisonous editorial environment, disturbs the article's editorial team, and generally works to create havoc, burn out good editors, and ruin what had been a decent article where many editors worked hard to build consensus.[reply]

User:CircleGirl- I am interested in reducing systemic bias around disability.
cjllw|TALK - anything which addresses under-representation and promotes thoughtful awareness of the non-Anglo world in this Wiki is a Good Thing. I have particular interests in non-European history, Mesoamerica, central Asia, the Pacific, indigenous societies and languages, but am quite prepared to research on just about any given topic.
Cloveapple
Clubmarx - I'm up for working on art and design
Colapeninsula - Interests/expertise include literature, art, craft, architecture, but I write on a wide range of topics. Also interested in countering recentist bias by writing on pre-internet topics in culture/arts/media/history. And translating from other languages.
Commissaress - I'm totally supportive of any attempt to make Wikipedia more inclusive of underrepresented minorities - particularly as a teenage, Asian female myself. I mainly do translations and social science-related articles and will try to counter demographic, linguistic and ideological bias in my fields of interest.
Communikat Interested in implications of WP:CENSOR and WP:WORLDVIEW in relation to WP:CSB.
Cooper-42 - Particular interest in countering the lack of good articles on issues facing children and youth - and opposing articles which make assumptions about children, or do not include them whatsoever when they should. Also interested in at least pointing-out the anglo-centric nature of the bulk of wikipedia, and am constantly frustrated by how many people refuse to acknowledge how Judao/Christian-centric the wikipedia really is.

User:Cosmodeluxe14:14 11 June 2009 - Most articles relating to American aggression against other nations is couched in the language and euphemisms of the US government and the mainstream US media. When I have tried to add more detailed info about such aggresions, they have been deleted. For example, Nixon and Kissinger are presented from the US perspective, but the several million civilians killed by their criminal policy of massive, indiscriminate bombing in Vietnam, Laos & Cambodia are barely even alluded to. The bias is blatant - obviously millions of South Americans know about Kissingers support for right-wing military dictatorships just as millions of S.E. Asians are familiar with his participation in the destruction of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam but the readers of Wikipedia are, for some reason, protected from this knowledge. Also, when a Wiki article states, for example, that US foriegn policy is designed to foster 'democracy', the Wiki reader should be told that although this is what the US government says, it is, in actuality, far from true - the US has much more often supported dictatorships (Marcos, Pinochet, Saddam Hussein (pre-war), Mboto, etc, etc) while the list of countries where the US has actually brought about real democracy is very short indeed. Such bias in what should be a global information site is a shame. Wiki is far too biased in favour of supporting the veiws and frames of reference of already established elites. Does anybody else notice this?
Countincr ^{( T@lk )} 14:46, 28 May 2007 (UTC)- We are not highlighting enough article related indigenous people or their cultures which I think we should.[reply]
— CrafterNova ^{[ TALK ] [ CONT ]} 18:59, 23 September 2024 (UTC) I'm interested in helping to mitigate all forms of institutional and systemic bias and discrimination worldwide such as misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, transmedicalism, queerphobia, intersexphobia, DSD-phobia, pluralphobia, sysmedicalism, racism, colorism, ethnic discrimination, religious discrimination, neurotypicalism, neuromedicalism, ableism, ageism, fatphobia, lookism, anthropocentrism, science denial and so on. I'm open to helping to improve all articles, but I'm more interested in improving articles related to LGBTQIAP+ activism, feminism, science, fake news, intimate image abuse, non-consensual practices on the internet and otherwise (e.g. non-consensual porn), the dark web, ethical hacking, AI, nanotechnology and some other technologies. Let's join hands to ensure the articles reporting of information from reliable sources with a neutral point of view and appropriate representation of all well-meaning, good people worldwide! (no I promise this is not a utopian vision lol)[reply]

User:Cyrusc—Excited about this project since I think consensus and NPOV are the two great systemic virtues of Wikipedia.
Damian Doyle (talk) 19:14, 5 September 2008 (UTC) - Will focus on cleaning up biased articles, particularly with regard to Africa. Also interested in addressing bias in articles related to conflict.[reply]
Dan Goodwin - Plan to expand and review non-neoclassical economics
Danbold - Sounds like a great project, hope I can help!
DanJazzy-Hope the project works out. It is sorely needed.
DanKeshet - I'd like to learn more about lots of subjects, especially labor unions from the Global South.

Danny - I am particularly interested in Africa and South and Southeast Asia, history and religion. Added a former prime minister of Burundi today to get the ball rolling.
Darouet - hope to contribute to non-anglophone perspective, and sub-Saharan Africa topics!
Datepalm17 - great project. I'd love to help. The place does rather need this.
DavidFRAS - Similar early exposure as DeLarge had, leading to a wider interest in CSB.
deadkid_dk - This has always been my ideology here. I'll be working on Chinese history, obscure Japanese games (such as bishojo games, which takes up one third of the gaming market but woefully underrepresented), and sometimes Hong Kong and Taiwan articles.
Deb (talk) 12:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC) - I wasn't so bothered about this topic until people started messing with the year pages by adding the DOBs of all their favourite soap stars and porn actresses (mostly American but sometimes British), to the point where the births section becomes unmanageably large and the deaths section ludicrously short. Deb (talk) 12:54, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dekyi - Very happy to have so many collaborators supporting inclusion. Join the WikiProject: Countering Systemic Gender Bias if you're inclined. -Dekyi 04:04, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
dejudicibus - great idea. Too many non-English people and events are ignored in English Wikipedia. Also, since non-English sources are ignored, many facts that have sources only in other languages are often deleted. You have my support. PS See also my proposal for interlanguage connections. --Dejudicibus (talk) 15:10, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
DeLarge – first became aware of the issue while editing auto-related pages, many of which are incredibly U.S.-centric; subsequently discovered this place. Hope I can help, although I'm not a regular contributor to what you'd call important articles.

DinoMo - Noble project to take on. I've done a great deal of research on "systemic bias" in portrayals of Islam and Muslims, so most of my contributions will probably be in that area. That, and sexism/gender bias. DinoMo 23:59, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
DJCheburashka -- I'm principally concerned with the way systemic bias accumulates regarding pages for individuals (where a small number of people have a strong desire to shift the page one way, and more people have a less intense desire to prevent bias), and pages subject to upper-middle-class-white-person-centric bias. My areas of particular interest and expertise involve fraudsters, the capital markets, identifying fraud, and evaluation of statistical claims in the social sciences.
Djembayz - Interested in sailing merchant ships (very underrepresented compared to naval vessels), integrating non-En article material, Wikignoming on small rural locations, minority populations, women's history, Global South. Djembayz (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dlv999 - Primarily interested in countering systemic bias in topics related to the Israel/Palestine but would like to expand my contributions to other areas. Dlv999 (talk) 11:34, 12 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Doctorxgc- I am currently working on science fiction novels and short stories by or about minorities (including women) to provide balance.
Dojo99 - Basically here to agree. Maybe also edit the odd article or seven that give the impression that Europe is just one country, or the odd article that forgets to consider that "the law" doesn't automatically refer to US or UK Law (unless, of course, the article is about something like, er, UK Law.
Donama — Firstly interested in articles about non-Anglophone or non-Western communities, and grabbing content from the prominent non-English Wikipedias can help with that. Secondly interested in various farming articles.
doviende - i'm interested in expanding feminist topics, articles about imperialism and the third world, and translating some spanish articles over.
Drowninginlimbo Interested in helping to prevent systematic bias on the website in regards to gender, race, and sexuality
Drsyd - I believe there is a bias in holistic and alternative health. I am a doctor that believes in medicine as well as alternative therapies. When I try to edit any topic in holistic health, the bias stems toward shunning it altogether while ignoring modern studies and research. I feel articles should be required to allow more than one point of view to allow other users to point out the new research and modern science.
drumguy8800 C T 09:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC) wooohoo.[reply]
DStrassmann - I'm interested in countering systemic bias in articles relating to economics, human well-being, and on gender-related topics.
Duey Finster - I dont feel as strongly about Systematic Bias, simply because Wikipedia will always be reflective of those who edit, be they in a minority or majority. I do feel conscious about it when I edit, but putting a "Global View" or "Local View" isn't always the right thing to do, lets make sure it fits into the project, its encyclopedic and is fact with sources, of that I am much more concerned than Systematic Bias. Nevertheless I support the effort to get more people from every background concievable to help make Wikipedia the most valuable free knowledge resource in the world.
Dvyost - helping to fill in West African history, particularly Mali, also interested in world literature.
Editor of the wiki 10:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC) I'm for all this stuff.[reply]
Eduen - Eurocentrism and anglocentrism in the end is not even good for those who just want some good access to knowledge and history.
Edwin Herdman - for me to describe a certain area of attack would be to propagate an unfortunate conception of systemic bias fighting as "fixing" viewpoints. That said, I am aware and fight against systemic bias.
Eewilson – the problem of the gender gap and bias on Wikipedia (Gender gap task force)
egaoblai Primarily interesting in representing issues to do with Kachin and Myanmar as well as representation for education. My concern is that the problem with systemic bias lies much deeper than what individual contributors can do. The notability guidelines themselves privilege western media above all things. For example, almost every hollywood film can be listed here due to the notability guidelines for film being merely 2 reviews in a media publication, and yet schools around the world, and personalities and institutions from non-western countries are often left out because they fail to meet the notability requirements.
Egfrank - born in Uganda, traveled through Southeast Asia and Japan as a kid, grew up in the USA, now live in Israel with occasional stints in Europe. Have about ten languages (living and dead) in various states of disrepair and wish I knew more. That probably says it all :-). At present, I have a special interest in preventing regional and relgious/anti-religious and inter-religious related system bias. I am especially sensitive to how the structuring of debates and the break-down of complex topics into articles can have embedded POV assumptions. IMHO, addressing systemic bias requires a multi-faceted approach: encouraging a greater balance in the editor community; giving all editors the academic tools to support their views in a calm, kind, and reasoned way; encouraging respect for non-Western secular intellectual systems; encouraging encouraging readers/debate closers/administrators to use the project system as a counter to WP:IDONTKNOWIT; and encouraging Wikipedia:Civility, Wikipedia:Assume good faith by both word and deed.
ElAmericano - I have lived in Mexico but am American. So you got the grammar, style, and perspective here. I'll help as much as possible.
Eldr-fire - I am a historian. Re: this project, I am a female academic and I have a particular interest in women's history, LGBT history, and the history of indigenous peoples of the Americas - the last of which is especially poorly represented in Wikipedia articles about American topics.
Eleassar - all my support. I have knowledge about Slovenia, as I live there. I also have noticed recently that many interesting biographies of not-so-well known people are missing.
Electriclamb - working on topics relating to art & design
Elf-friend - Well, a lot of my articles seem to fall within this category already.
Elizium23
Elizmr - I'm interested in eliminating systemic bias in articles having to do with the middle east. I have a background in biostatistics and have done editorial work. I fit the avg wikipedian profile to a great extent (except for gender) but have travelled and lived extensively in Asia and have familiarity with many Asian cultures and religions.
elliotreed - I'm interested in countering systematic bias in law articles.
Ellsworth, Paine - CSB is one of the most important and profound "universal-oriented" causes in the world! A noble work, CSB will go far to improve Wikipedia and to bring all peoples closer together! – 22:29, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Erictheenquirer - I have become concerned by the under-representation of scholarly sources by Palestinians in articles about (or close to) the Israel-Palestine issue, a problem already signalled by Israeli historian Benny Morris in 1988. While this is to a certain extent a language obstacle, those that are published in English are often on 'watchdog' sites which are frequently the target of non-WP:RS accusations, usually based on 'advocacy'. As a result, the alternative Palestinian view suffers from susceptibility to failing WP:DUE, which can easily doubly compound the systematic bias. I would like to promote the use of scholarly/peer-reviewed articles and books from reputable publishers [struggling with this and not being able to afford access to MUSE / JSTOR] nonetheless remaining concerned that so few are available. Any assistance would obviously be welcomed. I may not always be in a position to respond immediately, being under long-term medical treatment.

ErinENj - I'm very interested in helping in any way I can. I am a journalist and have a very strong belief in unbiased reporting of information. I have a background in journalism/news reporting, editing, and grammer, so I can help out in those areas. Also, I have a great deal of knowledge about chronic pain, back pain, the low back/lumbar spine, herniated discs, spinal surgery, health care and insurance in the United States, prescription medications especially narcotic medications, and similar health related issues. I have knowledge about New Jersey and the East Coast of the U.S., colleges in this area, and am somewhat skilled in internet research so I can help in finding sources and other information on any topic. I have access to journals (like medical journals, other sources that often have a cost related to accessing the source) until May 2007. I'd really like to be involved in developing this new and up-and-coming research source, and in helping the information on this site be as neutral and unbiased as possible so that it can help the people who, like myself, commonly use this site as a great source for all sorts of information.

It never received the kind of attention it deserved, or that other articles received. It underwent, I believe, more stringent review because of bias, because it presents life that doesn't tend to be represented on WP.

Gnixon - I've become increasingly flabbergasted over the last month or so by the level of systemic bias present in articles related to the creation-evolution controversy, such as Intelligent design and Level of support for evolution, where anti-creationist policing by a tight-knit group of editors vastly overcompensates for the occasional bit of creationist vandalism, maintaining an atmosphere of hostility toward creationists on the talk page along with a blatant bias in the article. More recently, I've noticed that the problem seems common to all controversial topics, e.g., Abortion. Promoting neutrality on those articles' talk pages in a civil manner has roused so much hostility that I've been stalked to totally unrelated pages and had good faith edits repeatedly reverted. I think this is a very serious problem for Wikipedia.

As Native Americans we should not participate with the U.S. federal or state governments in suppressing any Native American person or group by carelessly and unfairly discriminating against other Native Americans while trying to protect our interests.

User:Jaredscribe I'm proficient in French, Spanish, and Hebrew in addition to English, and have encountered a frustrating and pervasive systemic bias on wikipedia toward the post-christian, secular, probably white middle class, "youthful cab driver" perspective. On politics, there is the bias that media commentary is more important than primary sources, which creates, among others a bias toward euro-americanism, consumerism, and recentism (the notion that history doesn't matter). I've contested this problem on Hannukah, Antony Blinken, and Geneva Consensus Declaration, and essayed on the topic of systemic bias on the article talk pages.

St John Chrysostom ^Δόξα_τω^Θεώ Religion. The religion articles on here are very uneven in quality, some, such as many on Hinduism, having the quality of essays, and many on Judaism and Christianity being invariably critical and exclusive of religious scholarship, giving rise to a systemic bias in that regard (that Wikipedia is strongly biased towards 18-24 year old male graduate students - look at that cohort in studies on prevalence of religion - explains much). To balance out where I can, with what I know (I am no scholar of Hinduism or Buddhism beyond undergraduate studies in comparative religions, but do know Judaism, Christianity [as a seminarian], and Islam). Philosophy. Wikipedia is incredibly biased towards modern analytic Western philosophy; forget about Eastern, the coverage for pre-Cartesian philosophy or continental philosophy ranges from non-existent to, "look how smart this guy is, almost as much as Wittgenstein or AJ Ayers!"

A lot of people part of this page don't seem to understand that systemic bias does not have to do with NPOV or a resistance to science. It has to do with racism, sexism, etc. As it says in the wikiproject page this is about biases "that naturally grows from its contributors' demographic groups" meaning wikipedia is filled with white, male, wealthy editors that went through western education. It has almost nothing to do with NPOV except in where there is systemic bias, of which there is almost none against the scientific fields, except when it serves to uphold racist systems against POC and sexist systems against women and trans people.

Pandelver (talk) Systemic bias has major cognitive, affective, and personality traits aspects in how Wikipedians edit each others' work, and the editing culture, most of the time, overshadows the whole suite of attitudes, methods and analyses which comes instead from placing readers's needs first, not writers', in delivering content.

Parkwells (talk) 21:48, 9 July 2010 (UTC) - This is an important project. I've done much work in 19th century US history, and have worked to add articles or content on social history, minorities and women, etc., which are underrepresented in these pages. Background in history and political science, direct experience in US government, and wide reading in a variety of topics make me willing to tackle new areas.[reply]
Parmenides64 - We live in a global world, and the need to fight geographic bias becomes a necessity.
Pawyilee - East-West cultural clashes, in particular as exemplified by that of American Edmund Roberts (diplomat) at the time of Minh Mạng (14 February 1791 – 20 January 1841), second emperor of the Nguyễn Dynasty of Vietnam, of Rama III in Siam and Said bin Sultan, Sultan of Muscat and Oman. I've neglected Roberts' article in favor of posting information from his journal to other articles. --Pawyilee (talk) 06:45, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Paxse - I think the project is a very important one and I'm heartened by how many editors have shown an interest. I try to counter systemic bias when I come across it. My particular interest is in Cambodia and I find that somewhat neglected historical articles - like Chenla I or Chenla II - these have been written based entirely on US government sources in the public domain. Given how little the US knew about what was going on in the countryside at the time, and domestic opposition to the war in IndoChina - It's no wonder these original sources emphasised NVA involvement (to the exclusion of Cambodian communists) in these two battles (end rant!). Nevertheless, I'd be happy to work on any articles where an extra hand (keyboard) is needed - just leave a message on my talk. Paxse 15:28, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pedant - I came here because some of my favorite editors have this page on their 'what links here link'. I'm interested in everything, but I've sort of adopted Clown and related articles, since I have worked with and booked clown acts for over 20 years, and have taught clowning to several professional clowns. I think that 'things that aren't on the web' are in desperate need of being added to Wikipedia. I'd like to see some of the idiomatic English reworded to be more globally understandable by people for whom english is not their native tongue. I also edit a lot on legal issues (I read "legalese" and am fairly good at translating it to readable English), human rights issues, environmental protection and anti-pollution issues. My home page is set to the random wikipedia page, I typically surf my way in through there. I often edit topics I know nothing about, to learn more and to make them more readable by someone who knows nothing about the subject. I'm a rabid cross-referencer. I will happily spend time on any page that's drawn to my attention.Pedant 22:52, 2004 Oct 25 (UTC)

Phil Bridger. I qualify as an average Wikipedian on all counts, but in a few months I will no longer satisfy (6).

Redux (talk · contribs) - I have dedicated some time to a particular kind of neglected article: the "embarrassing article". Many articles are neglected, and many topics are forgone, because their subjects are deemed embarrassing, in connection with being perceived as unimportant, frivolous or puerile, which ultimately either prevents Wikipedia from having a decent coverage of the topics or allows for the existing articles on this type of topic to degenerate into something that is not encyclopedic. Research on the topics is usually relativelly easy (although severe filtering may be required in order to maintain an encyclopedic level), but the more skilled users will not touch them, unless their intervention is motivated by the need to resolve revert/content conflict or technical issues (too many redirects, unsuitable language, etc.). So I make it my business to include some of the topics that are left out unjustly and, once the topic is in, I strive to keep it within encyclopedic standards. As examples, I have created many articles related to tv shows and worked hard on some of them and others that I did not create myself to maintain the Wikistandard.
Reggaedelgado - I am especially interested in topics and articles that need more culturally competent or inclusive language and facts... I find that far too many articles reflect and are limited to a "white" view and sometimes reject a fuller understanding.
User:Relir - I'm interested in topics and articles that offer human population classification beyond national, social, geographic and cultural lines. I notice that topics/articles relative to this keep getting deleted no matter how populated they are. I'd also like to specifically contribute to articles relative to Equatorial Guinea and it's Ethnic groups.

Zappaz - Alleviating bias against emerging religions and Eastern religions by researching and editing articles that are tainted by prejudice and/or lack of sources representing the POV of these religions.
ZenSwashbuckler - I fit into 10 out of 10 pigeonholes, but experience hath shewn these to be as inevitable and inescapable as disco and bell-bottoms, if we're willing to make the effort. Looking to make the effort on scientific illiteracy, Amero/Eurocentrism, status-quo-ism, and others... (11 May 2010)

Zleitzen 15:05, 12 April 2006 (UTC) - Concerned with the systemic bias in articles relating to the politics of Cuba. English speaking Wikipedians are limited to sources which are rarely neutral on the matter of Cuba. For example, users have been relying on the CIA world fact book for basic information for lack of a more credible source. The inherent problems here are obvious.[reply]
Zosodada - I hate systemic bias! -- but not so much as outright misinformation... or excessive wordiness... but I hate it more than Yoda-speak! and that's a lot!

Bohemian Baltimore - Interested in countering racism and bias against Native Americans and other Indigenous peoples, anti-black/anti-African racism, anti-Romani racism, whitewashing, Christian-centrism, and Jewish erasure. Interested in intra-Jewish multicultural diversity. Interested in countering erasure of working-class and poverty-class culture. Interested in emphasizing both present and pre-colonial Indigenous culture and heritages that are frequently erased and misrepresented within settler-colonial states.
Gen. Quon - I'm interested in countering bias with regard to non-male and non-US representation. I would also like to be more mindful when it comes to sourcing by actively considering the complex socio-cultural power dynamics that led to the production of those sources.

Hbmtl - Interested in countering systemic bias particularly in the field of visual arts. I love to teach others on how to edit and how to tackle systemic bias issues.
Zukisama (talk) 16:00, 16 May 2021 (UTC) - Religion, philosophy, race, culture. But more broadly, I'm interested in linguistics, divisiveness and culture. How subtle (or blatant) narratives can polarize, marginalize and incite.[reply]
Sheila1988 (talk) 21:43, 4 July 2022 (UTC) - Interested in bringing a more rounded view to the Main Page, especially with current news.[reply]
— Prodraxis {talk • contribs} (she/her) 14:15, 15 August 2023 (UTC) I want to increase the coverage of often-underrepresented Korean topics in Wikipedia. Sure, due to Hallyu and stuff there are increases in coverage, but there are still large gaps to fill.[reply]
