I'm a 29 year old developer and systems administrator currently working as a contract Java developer, which I'm really enjoying.

I'm currently involved in a series of online projects to develop open/free content roleplaying material through theFree Roleplaying Community.

I've recently become interested in free content which is why I got involved with Wikipedia in the first place. I'm sometimes quite shocked that so much POV material gets into Wikipedia, particularly in some of the articles related to homosexuality.

Thoughts On Wikipedia

[edit]

I've been thinking about some of the sometimes contradictory rules and methods employed on Wikipedia. I am especially concerned with Wikipedia's bias problem. Some unscrupluous (and respected) editors work tactics like Spreading the POV.

It also seems to me that some of the rules are contradictory. Wikipedia states that it has a NPOV policy. However, it is also a Wikipedia:Consensus based organisation. But, I wonder how one can be a) neutral and b) rely on a consensus based decision making process to determine what is "neutral". On one hand, Wikipedia is dedicated to objective neutrality, but on the other it relies upon the subjective opinion of the majority of editors to determine what is neutral, hence being subjective.
