How Wikipedia Lies To You

Is Wikipedia a reliable source, or is it as prone to bias and false information as any other media outlet? In this video, we explore the fundamental problems of modern Wikipedia, and discover how the website regularly lies to its readers. One of the most basic lies Wikipedia tells is that it has a neutrality policy - in reality, the policy has glaring flaws. It's frequently used to assert liberal left worldviews as fact, as if they were the neutral statements of truth. On issues including (but not limited to) race and crime, drug legalization, and even religion, Wikipedia presents unbalanced and in some cases outright misleading information. The website has gotten to the point that its own co-founder, Larry Sanger, even wrote an article verbally destroying it. The article, titled 'Wikipedia Is Badly Biased' will be linked below. Other sources, including the many different studies documenting Wikipedia's left wing bias, are also linked.

[@Orincaby]

lgbt issues and lgbt rights are two different things lmao source: gay

[@feder373]

You'll probably recall that the two sides of the abortion debate were called until some years ago, "pro-choice" and "pro-life". Since it was discovered a document where Margaret Sanger (famous feminist and eugenicist who founded Planned Parenthood) explained how they introduced the term "pro-choice" to fool people into accepting the thing, one day Wikipedia admins coincidentally decided they'd change both terms because none of them were neutral. The replacements were "abortion rights movement" for pro-choice and "anti-abortion movement" for pro-life. At first seems about right because it doesn't contain the misleading word "choice", but it's actually much worse and less neutral because now it assumes abortion is not only a choice but a right, and by extension the other side becomes "anti-rights". Astonishing how that site's despicable rulers have the cheeks to say they're implementing neutrality while doing the exact opposite.

If you only see you're pros, and their khans, you just going to fail to convince anyone you have a reasonable position.

The labelling of conservative media figures, particularly smaller ones with less of a mainstream platform, as 'far-right' is also a massive problem. To label someone as being 'far-right', they can often quote a legacy media article(s) that use a meaningless version of the term designed to discredit right wing discussions. On their article for 'far-right', the first photo is a crowd waving hate symbols and describes the term as being authoritarian and fascist. On the 'far-left' article, it states that the term has 'no coherent meaning'. They can label people and groups far right based on a loose and polticized definition and then define the term themselves differently, meaning that right wing groups, who in no way condone fascism or similar ideologies, now get a blue link leading to a swastika on their page.

funny thing about the abortion argument even thought they are completely super biased Wikipedia from it, after reading it I'm more pro life, just shows how bad the pro abortion argument is

Great video! I used to edit lots of articles on various conflicts in the world and I was eventually banned for being a nazi after including a source which makes projections for populations of each continent over time, based on current birthrates.

I call them WikiPropaganda Last time someone bragged that they were an "editor" their nose mysteriously exploded.

Wikipedia has strict rules when it comes to writing articles about works of fiction, especially Japanese origin video games. Game guide content is not allowed on Wikipedia. When it comes to userboxes, you aren’t allowed to express dislikes; only likes. You’re not allowed to state in your user page your stand on politics involving social class.

[@opva100]

I only use it to consult some math / physics topics, but now nothing, in fact, its better that this page die awfully for being an insult to knowledge and sanity itself.

[@factorylad5071]

Race hazard , coriolis force are total bs no such thing as coriolis "force" they are numb nuts but don't try telling them that.

[@Kaledrone]

When it comes to scientific topics, wikipedia is pretty biased as well. I am interested in endocrinology and some of the articles I read on it basically establish something that is hotly debated in the community as an absolute "fact that is well established" and then they cite studies that prove that the topic is a "fact", but in reality there are also just as many studies and research papers that contradict that "fact". So basically, a lot of these scientific articles on wikipedia just cite studies that "prove" their point while completely ignoring half the other studies that conflict with their point as if pretending those studies just simply don't exist. That's as biased as you can get.

In the Encyclopedia Britannica, articles were signed by their authors. In Wikipedia, articles are not only anonymous, but unseen editors decide whether or not changes put in by contributors are retained. If the changes are pointedly undesirable, then said contributors are blocked indefinitely from ever editing articles again. One can appeal these blocks, but only silence ensues. As a vignette, I looked up Jack Posobiec, and he was describedas "an American alt-right[8] political activist, [...] conspiracy theorist,[10] [...] and provocateur.[12][13][14]" In an earlier version, he was described as an online "troll". George Soros, meanwhile, is described simply as "a Hungarian-American[b] businessman and philanthropist"[.]

[@agihiruda]

They quote resources like USA Today, The Independent and even the newspaper (((Haaretz))).

[@marchelinogeorge]

I'm a Wikipedia editor and a religious, conservative person. But because I use Wikipedia excessively, I probably will never stop searching on it. I'll try to avoid the political-related articles but I will say that Wikipedia has a quite anti-religious stance. It says that the Exodus narrative is a "myth."

[@zuarbrincar769]

I have seen many articles that follow this trend😢

[@BurnBird1]

That's because it is a myth, as confirmed by virtually all biblical scholars (Christian or not), archeologists and historians.

[@cooler_carpington]

​@@BurnBird1because nothing amazing can actually happen in this world, right?

[@Dennis-nc3vw]

If you want to see how biased wikipedia is, read the opening paragraph on their article about Religilous vs their opening paragraph on their article about Expelled.

[@Anonymousduck161]

I can remember a Time when Wikipedia was not allowed to be referenced in any papers submitted for university because the editors could not be verified. Nowadays, professors will accept citations made to Wikipedia and I just can’t understand why. (Sarcasm)

[@thephantomoftheparadise5666]

There's a reason teachers tell you not to use Wikipedia as a reference.

[@SlowedAesthege]

I’m so glad I’ve never used wikipedia from the start so biased and unreliable filled with misinformation…

[@graiovskitek84]

A lot of people pointed out about how the Croatian Wikipedia was biased for promoting Ustasha (which I don't support in any way btw) but they fail to mention how English Wikipedia itself is seriously biased. If you want to laugh: Wikipedia on White pride:"White pride and white power are expressions primarily used by white separatist, white nationalist, fascist, neo-Nazi and white supremacist organizations in order to signal racist or racialist viewpoints." LOL Wikipedia on Black pride:"Black Pride in the United States is a movement which encourages black people to celebrate African-American culture and embrace their African heritage."

What really upsets me in particular is the section about illegal immigration. Illegal immigration does NOT help the US economy by no means. In fact, it is a major burden on tax payers and federal spending. Legal immigration on the other hand, is VERY good for America. Anyone who follows our immigration policies and waits in line just like all other law abiding immigrants is certainly worthy of admission.

Should've been titled: "How Wikipedia Lies to You or The Redditization of Wikipedia" Also, I haven't used Wikipedia in a long time... There's so much more information available without the need of amateurish Wikis... Another thing: when someone cites Wiki as reference that's a huge red flag and that person's credibility should be questioned

[@maxandshakira]

It's illegal to tell the truth point out facts or have a opinion these days unless it is one hundred percent politically correct.

[@dimajo3057]

I'm sad to say I don't recall what excactly i looked up. But it was a mathematical concept on wikipedia. The article started talking about how this formula was made thousands of years prior in China. And i knew that simply couldn't be true, i went to their source and it was just a book about Chinese history, there wasn't even a false claim about any mathematical finding. I corrected it, as a mathematician perhaps i care a little bit more about these findings, i wrote the explanation for why this claim was nonsense and how it wasn't supported, the part i edited was very soon restored and kept. I've had this experience a couple of times on and off from wikipedia, but I don't use for a source ever since the Sexual Dimorphism page made claims about how society was keeping women down, and thats why they had less upper body strength than men. Which was more than 10 years ago.

I wanted to comment saying this is the best video so far but the truth is I feel that way about every video you make lol. I also missed a few videos recently, I didnt recieve a notice for them.

This is the reason that I quit donating to Wikipedia. Although their mathematical and scientific articles tend to be very good, the overt bias regarding religious and political issues is enough to justify not donating.

[@elib9002]

You need to reconsider.... if their political and religeous articles are so bad, it would inherently infect everything else they do as well. Especially science. And if they put anything in about being able to devide by 0........

Great video. You are completely correct about Wikipedia bias, and do a great job summarizing/explaining it in your video.

[@hausy]

Wikipedia pages about specific journalists are also interesting. If they are right wing or just trying to do proper journalism it will call them right wing, almost like a slur. On the other hand, obviously left leaning journalists will be described with glowing praise and without the left wing label, and only a select few controversies will be at the bottom of the article. I have a lot of time at work and one of the only websites I have access to is Wikipedia, and it’s gotten a lot worse since this video came out.

[@NegiSenseiYT]

This is interesting. Got me thinking a lot. I think mainly because I use WIkipedia a lot. I don't do so blindly, but try to use other sources as well. I also make good use of my language skills. I'd like to see what your other videos are like.

[@WarriorOfChristICXC]

6:04 - Got Code Geass on the mind, Pax?

[@namebit40j4]

That's really true, under any point of view. Just think about the comparison between the articles of antifascism and anti-communism. The first is about the fight against any form of fascism.Whereas the second talks about how "anti-communism" is ambiguous, because there're many paths in this ideology. Furthermore, it's written that the term is against the classic communism, while nowadays comm. countries, like China, are "ok". But, at the end, I suggest to read both articles for getting my point.

[@pmchad]

I hate how fascism went from an actual definition of a dictatorship based in ultra nationalism to a buzzword used to shut down opponents.
