Wikipedia is biased. If anyone thinks this research is objective, well they are wrong. All facts are somehow based on an opinion or perspective. Wikipedia is especially biased because those editing are arbitrarily choosing facts they think are relevant, while discarding other facts.
Example: Christopher Columbus discovered America. This is a "fact" often reported in scholarly sources, as well as Wikipedia. However, what about thousands of years before then, when Mongols possibly arrived first, etc...
My point is, all reported factual information most likely has a counterargument. Do not take Wikipedia, more over any encyclopedia, as absolute fact.
