Sure but those power editors and admins do a lot of heavy lifting that you're taking for granted. Someone's gotta be updating those articles and who's to say the editors you get for your fork will be any less partial than the ones on Wikipedia?
- andyxor 5y agoi think it's better to have multiple versions of wikipedia articles, maintained via something like github repo the distribution would be via something like a search portal with ranking similar to Pagerank, or create an explicit mechanism of social voting on articles similar to Reddit. yes, it might also be biased but at least there will be no single source of "truth" and people can make their own mind which version to believe, and be able to do something like "sort by controversial" as they do on Reddit so see different opinions
- rob_c 5y agoCould some fork drop the topical, media and "hot" topics and polish the hard sciences? Or historical facts which should be presented as being unbiased and isn't something which is now changing (unless we find an ancient dvd player in the pyramids). If this existed and Wikipedia worked with this "factopedia" to pull from it I'd very happily contribute. Potentially a wiki with some basic checks for having at least an undergraduate in the field of question?
