Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia. Most of its most popular pages are biographies, and other news-based pages. Many of Wikipedia&#x27;s problems come from the expectation that a single type of software and presentation can work for different types of data that has different audiences.<p>As for accuracy and neutrality: Bias and PV pushing is a direct result of the wiki system, and its objective of creating long-form articles. The desire to create the perfect article is part of the problem, because much of the data does not suit an article format. The problem is compounded by the wiki software, which encourages bias, by allowing the most powerful group to determine what happens on the page. It also give too much power to incumbent groups, who can veto changes too easily.<p>On my site, the pages are built up news event by news event leading to a far more neutral and unbiased view of events. Compare these two pages [1][2].  The Wikipedia page, including its title, is completely biased to the viewpoint of the most powerful group on the page (I&#x27;ll let you guess who they are). The Newslines page, which is neither &quot;entertainment&quot; or &quot;dumbed down&quot;, is simply a catalogue of the news events. Each news event comprises only the factual information extracted from (often biased) source articles.<p>In the Wikipedia page the desire to build the perfect article leads inevitably to POV pushing, as editors veto the work of opposing editors. In an ideal system that may result in some kind of balance, but Wikipedia is far from ideal - every page&#x27;s content is determined by the most powerful editors on that page. However, in the Newslines page, there <i>is no article</i>, so such POV pushing is not as easy. The end result is that the analysis of the events is left up to the reader, not the editor. A further advantage of atomizing the events on a page is that they can be sorted and filtered (using buttons at the top of the page), something that is completely impossible on a Wikipedia page.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mattress_Performance_(Carry_That_Weight)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Mattress_Performance_(Carry_Th...</a>
