I still think about Xed every now and then. They started WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias back in 2004 & convinced me and others it was worthwhile trying to counter the onslaught of Pokémon & starship articles with substance on human & cultural diversity. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot. Xed was excellent & understandably moody sometimes. They were ultimately bullied from #Wikipedia by a bunch of admins who loved rules not people. This is why we can't have nice things

@dingemansemark@scholar.social Will you tell me more about "Xed"? People? Traces?

@abolitionniste@bagarrosphere.fr I never knew who they were, except that they were interesting, complex, and passionate about making Wikipedia better by making it more balanced and diverse. Xed started a project for 'overcoming systemic bias' and was, predictable, hounded by people who felt offended

Wikipedia's own page on Wikipedia states that "Wikipedia is committed to making its articles as unbiased as possible." However, there is still no mechanism for removing the systemic bias present in Wikipedia. I'm talking about the bias caused mainly by Wikipedia's demographic make-up (mainly North American computer literate types). Pages such as Wikipedia:Collaboration_of_the_week, Wikipedia:Requested articles etc don't specifically attack the problem, and often serve to perpetuate it. An example of this problem is that even after 1 million articles have been written, the article on the Congo Civil War, possibly the largest war since World War 2 (and which resulted in over 3 million deaths), have much less information than articles such as Babylon 5, Languages_of_Middle-earth, Slackware etc which appear to fit into the Wikipedia demographic. I suggest a section on the Wikipedia:Community_Portal page to deal with this issue.--User:Xed 18:57, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
