Wednesday Post
Anyone can edit information on Wikipedia but there are 1,000 users with "special powers" that try and keep control of things that are posted in line with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. I'm not sure if they specifically look for false claims but I'm sure if something is reported or if they come across something incorrect, they step in to try and correct it. If someone finds biased or incorrect information, they can either report it or alter it themselves.

This is a good point. But whats bias to some people might now be to others, I wonder how they make a decision like that. Do they just choose what and what not to have on there by themselves, or do they have to consult a panel of different people before making a decision?
I also agree with mchalup. I think that its interesting that something that could be considered biased is left up to the administrators own discretion, when really bias is built on personal experiences.
