    UnHerd interviews Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger, who explains why he no longer trusts the site he helped create. He argues that it has become biased and is no longer a neutral, open platform.

    HN commenters cite it as an authoritative-sounding critique of Wikipedia's bias, coming from one of its own founders.

    1. @JfreegmanFeb 2023· in “The Political Bias of ChatGPT – Extended Analysis”

      Wikipedia is anything but neutral on political topics. Their political bias comes straight from the top with corrupt administration and disproportionate application of their own rules and guidelines. I suggest you watch this interview with Wikipedia co-founder Larry Sanger on why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia. this video

    2. @lezJul 2021· in “Ask HN: Jobs in Software/Technology Activism?”

      According to one of Wikipedia's founders, it's no longer a free and open platform. There are politically strategic topics where no arguments/edits are tolerated other than what fits the mainstream viewpoint. The owner of the question definitely wants to push things in a different direction than mainstream. this video

    3. @sleaveyAug 2021· in “Wikipedia Has a Language Problem”

      This article talks about non-English Wikipedia sites, but it's worth noting that the co-founder of Wikipedia (the other one, not Jimmy Wales) no longer trusts the English site either. [1] this video
