From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I mostly do ROM hacking on the Internet, but when I see a certain Wiki article that needs to be fixed I might fix it.

Currently some Chinese people always find many Wikipedia articles 'biased' (subjectively) against China. OK, let's assume that these articles are biased. So go fix them, will you? And then we have:

'It is reported later that Nobel Peace Prize will never belongs to the persoen(sic) like Hu who are(sic) so young and absolutely have(sic) no contribution to the world peace for sure.'

Sounds like crap even with grammatical errors fixed: No source, and ironically this itself is a more accurate depiction of what being biased is like. In fact, few people ever know how to think from a neutral standpoint, and furthermore, they would automatically consider a neutral standpoint not patriotic.

Now, it's not that there aren't Wikipedia articles biased against China, but first learn some basic rules or at least have some common sense on editing a wiki. The edit shown above displays a lack of common sense. Second, being 'biased' itself is a subjective matter and it's not that if you feel that it's biased, then it's biased. On certain matters there isn't even a vague definition of what's right and wrong, only interests, and in these cases editing them in your favour only shows an inability to think from a neutral standpoint.

If anyone finds these not acceptable, go find another place that accept your views and release your emotions. These kind of 'patriotism edits' can be easily considered vandalism.

NOTE: The above is not meant for discrimination. Rather, it's meant to point out problems with this sort of viewpoint that can easily become political correctness in large user groups.
