Wikipedia still getting flack for "bias". Empty Wikipedia still getting flack for "bias".

I keep hearing about Wikipedia bias. I haven't seen any. Somebody tell me or show me how and where they're biased because by and large I don't think they are.

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but if the edit is biased, someone else will correct it. See how that works? I don't understand how Wikipedia is biased.

Please give me some examples. Thank you.

It'ld be expected some articles in there do have a bias to them.
There are SO many articles in there.
Wiki is the 5th most visited site (or thereabouts), they would be careful that there is NO bias over the site.
If the Wiki reputation is degraded, the business will be negatively affected.

Reputations are very important to companies. Businesses do a LOT to build and protect their name.

We know that it and most all media is trying to present its message under camouflage . Its been that way for a while so we don't take their word verbatum. Everyone puts a slant to their message ,except me !
Every registered Democrat is the enemy and anti American - hunt them down and give them their last rites .

No, I have clicked through your links. You have dug deep and found zero.
Most give no links, no testing, just opinions. Some links go nowhere.
One link goes here ..........
............ Slanted Wikipedia articles tend to become less biased than Britannica articles on the same topic as they become substantially revised, .............

hahahah - one of the links .......

........... editors favoring right-leaning views were six times more likely to be sanctioned than those favoring left-leaning views. ..........

https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2020/10/29/analysis-conservative-wikipedia-editors-six-times-more-likely-to-face-sanctions-than-leftists/

From one of the worlds worst sites.
Right wing views are 'reportedly' sanctioned more often because they are wrong more often.
They are more extreme and dangerous. They ignore modern Medicine/Science or the Legal system of America.
