I'm preparing a first article which is meant to serve as an example of how we can create objective articles. It helps that I'm a total outsider, not involved with the parties and the people that are mentioned.

As it's a difficult topic, full of wild accusations and mud throwing without reliable sources, I had not included it in the list of proposed topics for inclusion. Nevertheless this author remembers noticing how "main stream" media misrepresented the topic, turning it into a bad joke; and Wikipedia hastily arrived at a verdict, telling readers what they should think of it.

In contrast, due to the lack of reliable information this article is unlikely to reach a verdict, and some readers may be unsatisfied with such a state of affairs. Perhaps Wikipedia is for simple minded people, while InfoCheckers will be for those who can do their own thinking.

PS. We may still include an opinionated "editorial" with each article, clarifying the opinion of the editors after weighing all the information.

By chance I stumbled on another discussion by Prof. Brian Martin with case examples of opinion manipulation by Wikipedia about living persons, here:

This comment of Prof. Martin I find particularly interesting:

"My case is special because I am a social scientist researching tactics of denigration, harassment, and censorship. Therefore, I am more interested in the value of my page in revealing techniques of biasing than in having the page be a more accurate reflection of my life and work."

I'm now reconsidering the method. Instead of rewriting full articles, it will be more efficient to link to existing articles in Wikipedia and alternative sources such as Wikispooks. Then a mere summary that combines the different biased information sources into a less biased and better informed narrative will be sufficient.
