    Not only is that true, but Wikipedia’s resistance to bias (generally speaking) is definitely one of its strengths. even if it gets slammed with a bunch of revisionism for short periods, it will eventually self-correct.

    And, while I’m sure that many people could cite several exceptions to this, Wikipedia does, in a general sense, maintain these rather high standards regardless. Considering what Wikipedia is in the fact that it is free and always will be, the enduring value of it is obvious.
