I really can't see why that would ever be better than "three in depth links". It seems extremely subjective. How do you even accurately define and measure that description?

This to me seems at the heart of the authors discontent. Unfortunately even online encyclopedias aren't safe from social justice pressures in this day and age.

If I find it easier to get information about pokemon than about a female scientist who's made significant contributions to her field there's a problem.
- matt_wulfeck 10y agoIf you can't find 3 outside sources about that scientist, is that Wikipedia's fault? I don't think the bar is very high. It seems to me the issue is not Wikipedia. Wikipedia reflects society, it doesn't represent it.
