I always chuckle when people complain, even if it is from a cofounder, that Wikipedia has a "leftist" bias.

Gosh, you built a system that is dependent on a gigantic army of volunteers who donate their time and expertise freely for the sole purpose of building something for the communal good, and you are surprised it has a "leftist" slant?



Same with schools; they are little slices of socialism so they attract more from the left.

Though I don't think this applies to FOSS in general.


That seems disingenuous. It purports to be a repository of facts, not a repository of the contributor’s opinions. Had the messaging up front been “a place for leftist opinions” it would be fine.
