Sandi Toksvig seeks funds for rival to ‘deeply biased’ Wikipedia.

Interesting (Times, £). An extract:

“She said that the crowd-sourced encyclopaedia may “sound incredibly egalitarian” but that it was created by “mostly white middle-aged European men who both have the time and the technology”.

She said: “We now have a collection of knowledge that for the English-speaking world is 85 per cent by and about white men.”

Wikipedia has long been deeply corrupted by feminist editors, but seemingly not corrupted enough for Sandi Toxic. My own entry here was started by a feminist and has largely been edited by feminists. The editors demand that anything I claim (e.g. in relation to the milkshaking incident at Cambridge University in 2019) must be backed up by mainstream media sources before inclusion in my entry, while they’re perfectly happy to accept student online newsletters as adequate evidence.
