Wikipedia Bias

Someone with a wikipedia account in good standing simply needs to add {{POV-check}} to the top of the page's source, and explain on the talk page how you think the article fails Wikipedia's standards for NPOV (Neutral Point of View).

You're going to get into edit wars about any significant change in tone or content. Granted, that doesn't mean we shouldn't try, but just a warning.

Probably has something to do with this

Well the two citations I picked at random were both bunk. That the MRM in the united states were trying to over turn the martial rape laws so they could rape their wives, the article that it comes from(which is hardcore bias) states one group, that I can find zero information on nor can I find any information on the suit they filed but someone it's ok the portray the whole MRM by something that doesn't seem to exist because it sound shitty and some asshole wrote it? Makes sense.

The other one is about a suit filed by a group that advocates that DV has mirror offenders and victims between the sexes but apparently they don't want more resources sent toward men, they simply want to have the resources taken away from women. Now why would that be, oh they're actually a libertarian group and no an MRM group so it really kind of lines up with their politics and only fringe(read none) has to do with the MRM.

Yeah so that was fun and all but it's actually really shitty. I've really lost a lot of respect for Wikipedia, I mean jeez, I get it it's a touchy subject (men being treated like fair human beings in the instances they're disadvantaged at, not thinking all men are rapists, caring about young boys, controversial stuff there) but I don't see any of this shit going on in the Feminism, or Feminism theory articles. Hell they're both obviously anti-men ideas just sitting there, which by the way everyone should feel free to read those articles to get a better idea of what "feminism" really is and why it's obviously anti-male, like hardcore anti-male, but it's all shown in a good light. It's just ridiculous. Fucking people are dumb, bigoted, shitty, and just plain assholes. If it wasn't for the fact that I hold my beliefs based on facts and have to believe that someday facts will beat out tradition then I would be abysmally sad. As it is, I'm just really sad and disappointed. Fuck these people.

Obligatory "feminism" helps men too! Gotta make sure everyone knows that men are rapists, misogynists and need to be shamed if they ever think anything outside of what "feminists" have told them. Those bad evil evil men, but they're still helping us, everyday.

If something disturbs you at Wikipedia, edit the page. Get some arguments and sources and change it.

People like you and me need to correct it.

Wikipedia is open to whoever wants to edit it and its just unreliable to have a proper source cause any idiot can create an account and fuck up some articles to their benefit.

I contacted Wikipedia and they won't loxck certain articles for any reason unless something major occurs. Its rare if they ever lock off articles.
