Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering systemic bias

message: ..are often used together or seperately as harbringers of western 'systemic' bias.
The conscious efforts to do so (or atleast those efforts that look as such) honestly seem irritating 192.175.63.8 (talk) 20:40, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

text: I would like to offer my opinion as a Japanese editor, that from experience, I have observed WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NOR to perpetuate systemic bias on an extremely regular basis. I would go as far as to say that in the context of Japanese topics, they are used more silence Japanese perspectives, viewpoints and opinions than to any valid extent. Even when a name is only used in the US and to a slight degree, western users invoke WP:COMMONNAME to insist on using it. When Japanese users point out problems with articles that are so bad that anyone who is Japanese can immediately see them, western users claim this is "original research" and demand sources, which can be difficult in some cases because sometimes western sources comes up with claims which are so plain ridiculous that no Japanese person would even think of wasting time to write something to refute them. It's frankly quite disgusting. 27.84.15.217 (talk) 06:46, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to add that, to a lesser degree, I've seen similar use of "no primary sources" - Isn't that policy there to make sure that academic papers are used in an objective matter, just in case their content is skewed? I have seen people apply it to things like history where they insist that Japanese historical documents cannot be used and that secondary sources - western "interpretations" (clearly wrong) - are preferable. I have even seen people apply this seemingly to just harass Japanese users, like when someone linked to an official website to provide release dates for something they were attacked by other editors claiming "no primary sources allowed". Again, frankly quite disgusting. 27.84.15.217 (talk) 07:11, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

message: An off-center image of Earth captured in Apollo 4 with Antarctica on top. This is the first ever color image of the Earth in medium Earth orbit.
that is the above text of caption to photo. I don't have the idea for the reason why the photo appear to be related with the title of this page : WikiProject_Countering_systemic_bias ? 
I hope someone can understand this problem about the putting image of earth into this page. 182.253.54.120 (talk) 15:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  why someone put the earth photo in this page? 

message: I have been experiencing difficulties with article creation which I believe are due to a systemic bias in Wikipedia's review system. As many of us in this project probably already know, working class people and their history are significantly underrepresented in academic research, which leads to difficulties creating articles about these topics on Wikipedia. Most recently, I have been encountering issues with an article I wrote about Jeff Johnson, the former president of the Washington State Labor Council and an important figure in recent labor history in this area. Despite the article being approved from AfC less than a month ago and my efforts to add more secondary sources to prove notability, the article is now being proposed for deletion. It would be very helpful if people here could help me improve the article and contribute to the discussion on the AfD page to prevent it from being deleted. Thank you for your support!

replies: text: I read the AfD discussion and pitched in my two cents. I agree that working class issues can suffer from systemic bias, and that, in this case, we should err on the side of keeping and improving the article. Philomathes2357 (talk) 06:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Call for help: article may be deleted due to systemic bias in Wikipedia review system 

message: Hi folks. This is a great WikiProject with a lot of potential. However, one thing holding it back appears to be a lack of organization. I have a couple of ideas to address that
1) Place this WikiProject's template on the talk page of every article that under the purview of a WikiProject whose domain is potentially subject to systemic bias. For starters, almost every article under the purview of the WikiProjects listed on this project page should have the template added.
2) Create an assessment process, like the one found at the home page of WikiProject Philosophy and many other projects. This would make it easier to keep track of what articles are under the purview of our WikiProject, and it would help editors find things to work on. Pecopteris (talk) 19:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
