When searching for information on Internet, how do we discern what is fair and well researched information? For an individual it is not doable to sort it all out.
Search engines serve links to Wikipedia articles near the top of their results, and while the great majority is fine, some of those articles are extremely unreliable or badly biased. And when we look for better information, the choice is often between two extremes: unquestioned "mainstream" dogma or "alternative" sites of doubtful and often very poor reliability.
This website is meant to serve as a tool for a community of people who want to be well informed and who may want to contribute sometimes. It's now open for everyone to join. By contributing to a Wiki we can obtain much more while spending less time individually.

In The News (or hardly in the news, but should have been):
Barry Young, a database administrator for New Zealand’s public health ministry, has been arrested for leaking secret government data on the death rates of people who received Covid mRNA shots. Even though the data has been anonymized, the New Zealand government health agency has been granted an injunction that “prevents any publication of the data” leaked by the whistleblower. Meanwhile, scientific journalists and statisticians have already started examining some of that data that is being scraped from the Internet.
