Wikipedia's Neutrality Questioned Amid Bias Claims

Wikipedia's Neutrality Questioned Amid Bias Claims

Wikipedia, which is 25 years old, says it is neutral and lets volunteers edit it.

But some people in India say it is not fair, especially about Hindu topics.

The boss of Wikipedia, Maryana Iskander, says they use reliable sources and let people discuss to make sure everything is correct.

But others say Wikipedia only uses certain sources that are not fair.

They say Wikipedia does not let people add different views, especially if they are about India.

Some editors who have been there a long time control what is written, and new editors have a hard time changing things.

Wikipedia also locks pages so no one can edit them, which makes it hard to fix mistakes.

Some people say Wikipedia is not really neutral because of these rules.
