Grants:IdeaLab/Stop Liberal Bias

Stop Liberal Bias
Wikipedia has become plagued by liberal bias and online hordes stomping out opposing ideas. That is not a library of knowledge. If you go to a library, you can find both Locke and Hobbes. This place should be a bastion for competing ideas as they are logged as part of the full library of human knowledge.

Project idea

edit

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

edit

Liberal bias and liberal harassment of those with opposing ideas on Wikipedia. Wikipedia has become plagued by liberal bias and online hordes stomping out opposing ideas. That is not a library of knowledge. If you go to a library, you can find both Locke and Hobbes. This place should be a bastion for competing ideas as they are logged as part of the full library of human knowledge.

What is your solution?

edit

Pay high-level managing editors that operate as independent auditors outside of the Wikipedia staff and volunteer structure that are a member of a 7 or 9 member auditor panel to evaluate highly active posts receiving X amount of complaints of bias and/or harassment.

Opposition

edit
  • While I probably agree with the main point (some liberal bias on Wikipedia), this idea has little to do with harassment. --Doveofsymplegades (talk) 08:50, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
