I feel like Wikipedia has also become more and more political as it gained popularity. Some of the decisions the admins have made over the years make me question the trustworthiness of what I read on Wikipedia, because some articles paint a one-sided view of events. Luckily it seems to mostly be limited to certain topics.

- DoctorOetker 8y agoI wish there was more research on different forms of voting and reputation, not even insisting that we make the voting binding, but just so contributors can agree or disagree with some edit, and then we can look how different metrics would have resulted in what outcome, so that perhaps one day we can run an encycopedia without needing explicit moderators... DistriPedia?
