What is bias?
A far example, but if 99.9% of the people think the earth is a sphere, and 0.01% of the people think it is flat, does an article that states that the earth is a sphere biased against people who believe the earth is flat?
I did not read the article on MMR vaccine, but I am guessing that it states that it does not cause signifiant problems in children. (This is the vaccine that a small % of people claim is causes problems in children, right?) This just proves my example of above.
I think that for current important public figures, there is some sort of moderators for these pages, so they could definitely be biased. But I thought that most subjects were open to anyone to edit?
I do use Wikipedia, but more for history and things like that. I would never use it as a source to reference something like President Trump or President Obama.
