You need a culture that supports truth. You will not be able to do this with policy changes.
For instance, this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_conspiracy_theory\ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_conspira...
>The Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory is a series of unevidenced claims centered on the false allegation that while Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, he engaged in corrupt activities relating to the employment of his son Hunter Biden by the Ukrainian gas company Burisma.
This is not a statement of fact, but an opinion of the person writing it. The fact of corruption is the question at hand.
The Vice President's son was being paid $1,000,000/yr to sit on the board of a foreign gas company.
That isn't a disputed. Joe and Hunter Biden don't dispute this.
This article should be listing the basis of accusations against Hunter, and listing refutations to those accusations.
Instead, this reads like an opinion piece/defense/misdirection.
Wikipedia should have a culture that reflexively recoils at stuff like this. I should have no idea what the political leanings of the editors at wikipedia have, but I do, and they make it obvious.
- Mathnerd314 5y ago>>The Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory is ... > This is not a statement of fact, but an opinion Actually the way Wikipedia articles work, this is a definition. They are taking various articles about similar topics (in the citation link at the end), and coming up with a single topic name and its definition. Sometimes it's hard to accomplish this and you have to settle for a vague definition, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number is defined to allow starting at 0 or at 1. As far as the $1,000,00/yr salary, that's mentioned on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden#Burisma_Holdings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunter_Biden#Burisma_Holdings. But it's not relevant to the conspiracy theory so it's not mentioned there. I think you could add it, just copy the source.
