Abstract:
In late-October 2020, two unknown academics wrote an a piece about bias on English Wikipedia, which was published in the United Kingdom magazine 'The Critic'. Here is the link to the piece: https://thecritic.co.uk/the-left-wing-bias-of-wikipedia/ Join your fellow Wikimedians and reflect upon and discuss its points. Are the critiques valid, invalid, why? What, if anything, if there is any validity to the critiques, should be done to address the raised concerns?
