Maybe we need to create a "factopedia", with strict process for verification of facts, to avoid bias at Wikipedia.

  It’s been tried, more or less: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizendium https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizendium However, quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

    I'm thinking about something different: a site, where everyone can publish a fact or a statement, arguments that supports or contradicts the fact, and a process with goal to make fact proven or falsified. (Sorry for my English). Fact: Earth is flat. Pros: Earth is flat, it's obvious. [direct evidence] Cons: Fact: [Picture of the Earth from the space] shows that Earth is round. Fact: Picture of the Earth from the space And so on.

      Not saying that’s not got its place, but most people want to look something up and get the facts. Personally I prefer if Wikipedia just says “earth is a sphere” and links citations, than makes me wade through a bunch of bullshit and evaluate it all for myself.
