| My candidate statement | Wikipedia needs to be neutral. Currently rich, powerful, right-wing, white, western, english-speaking men think it is neutral and heap praise on it, while their opponents who represent the world's majority sometimes can't stand it and want it banned. Only when people from radically opposing ideologies, such as George Bush, Osama Bin Laden, and Fidel Castro can agree that they all like it, or all hate it equally, will it be considered neutral. Currently it is about as fair and balanced as FOX News. The other thing it needs to be is welcoming, which means cracking down hard on the people with lots of edits when they attack newcomers for daring to contribute. And more factual so less superstition. | |
