Wikipedia is biased? Or maybe they are talking about the discussion pages?


No, it's the likelihood of who the typical user is going to vote for.

I assume, what they did is find everybody who "likes" Wikipedia, and then go through that list and see how many "like" Republican-type pages, and how many "like" Democrat-type pages.

Well actually, there have been a few scandals about Wikipedia being leftwing biased and male biased.

There was a case on Global warming for example where it said a sciencest who was a global warming skeptic admitted global warming was real... when he didn't, and a reporter who knew him couldn't get the article changed.  Even after he got full support from the sceintist in question... and the sceintist himself tried to get his own wikipedia entry to reflect him more accurately.

So it's not even a matter of "Some people don't like what it says about global warming" so much as it is "actual factual positions are willingly misrepresented."

 

In general controversial conservatives tend to have longer disent pages then controversial liberals, stuff like that.

 

As for the male based thing... see, all media pretty much everywhere, and how stuff involving men and women get reported differently with different words.
