How? You're making that claim but not supporting it at all. Do tell me how anything here is biased towards a progressive mindset: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_vie...
- camdenlock 10y agoI'm not referring to Wikipedia's written definition of NPoV, I'm referring to its application. Many Wikipedia articles in their various states (past and present) don't fit into any kind of "neutral viewpoint" ideal. They may appear as such, of course, to one who shares the bias; in that case, Wikipedia's content must seem like a bastion of truly neutral rationality.
- milesrout 10y agoNo, it isn't biased. You are. Lots of people claim Wikipedia is biased towards right-wing viewpoints, lots of people claim that Wikipedia is biased towards left-wing viewpoints. It's like the old saying "both parties claim that BBC is biased, that's how you know it isn't."
