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

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

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?

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

• 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)
