well, that and vast swathes of historical sections and articles are whig history echo chambers.

  You might feel that way, and certainly there are others who take issue with the general tone of Wikipedia. My advice is simple: try to fix it if you think it's a problem. Wikipedia is generally democratic, but not entirely. it's not majority rules. Come up with convincing arguments and get yourself taken seriously.

    you just summed up the problem. democracy sucks. I'm going to be the asshole here and say some of us have things to do. convincing what are probably history majors with too much time on their hands due to being history majors that corrections are needed would be a huge time sink for no reward.

      I was with you except for the part about slamming history majors. I'm not one, nor am I friends with any, but it's not clear to me that academics are hurting Wikipedia. If anything, I think Wikipedia could do better by following a more academic approach, and putting more emphasis on things like accountability.
