The most important issue about Wikipedia, which I deem to be its bias, is trivially solvable. However, this “issue” is not an issue at all, it’s a conscious choice.
While it may be discouraging to hear this, most issues in the world have already have easy solutions available. The solutions are simply unwanted. Things are “wrong” by design.
I’ll claim (without checking) that all these issue are far worse around controversial subjects, and that very neutral subjects like mathematics likely won’t have edit wars or any other such problems. If I’m right, it’s because the three major factors behind biased or wrong articles are: Emotional, ideological/political, and economic. To generalize, the objective Truth is worth much less than biased articles are to anyone with enough power to control the articles in question.
