And we're all human beings bumping along on the planet, trying to do our best.

And obviously, there are definitely people who aren't trustworthy.

But the crisis we see in politics, trust in politicians, trust in journalism, trust in business, that is coming from other places and is something that we can fix.

Yeah, I mean, I do think Wikipedia isn't as good as I want it to be.

And so I think that's part of why people do have a certain amount of trust for us, because we try to be really transparent.

You know, you see the notice at the top of the page sometimes that says the neutrality of this page has been disputed or the following section doesn't cite any sources.

People like that.

Not many places these days will tell you, hey, we're not so sure here.

And it shows that the public does have a real desire for unbiased, neutral information.

They want to trust.

They want the sources.

They want you to prove what you're saying and so forth.

Basically, we're very old fashioned about this sort of thing.

What we look for is good quality sources.

So we like peer reviewed scientific research, for example, as opposed to populist tabloid reports.

You know, we look for quality magazines, newspapers, etc.

So we don't typically treat a random tweet as a fact.

And so we're pretty boring on that regard.

It's all the old-fashioned sort of good stuff.

And I think it's important to say when we look at different sources, they will often come to things from a different perspective or a different political point of view.
