This certainly won't be used for political purposes


For how political Wikipedia already is maybe this can only help?


Both forces are pushing in the same woke direction so I doubt it very much.


What do you mean by woke?


People who are woke often think that they are good, and therefore their feelings and opinions are objectively correct. It follows that anyone who disagrees is wrong, and therefore bad. It’s a dangerous ideology because it discounts the fact that we all have a capacity for good and evil. No one is good all the time, and certainly no one is good without intense introspection.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.


He's trying to make "not being racist" sound like a bad thing while derailing the discussion.


Looking for accurate historical or political information from any single source is going to lead to inaccuracies. Every single one has an interest in promoting a certain view of both historic and current events. Usually math or science facts are wrong on Wikipedia simply due to human error. Unless they somehow have bearing on a historic or current event that is contentious. In that case you are back to being unable trust any single source without corroboration wikipedia or otherwise.
