Awful

article. And, this is over main page. Nice. ∯WBG^converse 09:51, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I hear you, but slinging it by the main page brings it to our attention for repairs or improvement. Wikipedia is all about "history", yet most editors haven't a clue about how biased their quote selections are or really think about whether information is worth including.

We all need to ask ourselves, "What is the historical significance of what we are including or editing?". And "How can we embrace all perspectives for that?". Perhaps this article should be fleshed out with examples, and be required reading for all Wiki Editors. 72.141.106.240 (talk) 14:08, 20 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
