Such as how? This assertion keeps being made without any evidence supporting it.
It's more ammunition for everyone else's
distrust and fear of our community and organizational motives.
Are there any actual reasons to believe that such distrust and fear

Surely you haven't missed the spectrum of external criticism of Wikipedia which in no

We are always able to come back and point to (usually) functional neutrality. But then we
