Re: [Wikimedia-l] an observation on economic biases in Wikipedia

[Dennis During]

At the level of generalization of the cited statement in the WP article, it
is pretty much impossible to approach objectivity in economics articles.  I
doubt that an instance of bias should lead us to include the kind of
unscientific economics that we happen to find agreeable.  I specifically
refer to the kind of Tinkerbell economics in the YouTube video.

[Wikimedia-l] an observation on economic biases in Wikipedia

[James Salsman]

The more I survey different language wikipedias, the more I am
convinced an effort at the chapters level is needed to address this
problem:

It occurred to me that this Max Roser video might help:

I hope in particular that objectivists and former objectivists would
share their thoughts on it.

Best regards,
Jim

[Wikimedia-l] Solve legal uncertainty of Wikidata

[mathieu stumpf guntz]

Hello everybody,

There is a phabricator ticket on Solve legal uncertainty of Wikidata 
 that you might be interested 
to look at and participate in.


As Denny suggested in the ticket to give it more visibility through the 
discussion on the Wikidata chat 
, 
I thought it was interesting to highlight it a bit more.


Cheers
