And so there's a lot of nuance and sophistication that is necessary for that, as obviously the ABC or the BBC would have as well.
So we don't say, for example, you know, the moon.
Some say rocks.
Some say cheese.
Who knows?
You know, that's not really neutrality.
But if there's a legitimate debate, then Wikipedia can just present the size.
I mean, one of the great techniques is to attribute the views.
So, you know, the Pope says this, and critics have responded that, and so on.
Citation needed.
Yeah, I think it's hugely important.
You know, Wikipedia, you do see these, even there's the little ones that you're talking about, but then there's a big banner at the top saying, oh, the neutrality of this article has been disputed.
I always say, you know, I often wish the New York Times would sometimes put a little banner at the top saying, you know, we had a big fight in the newsroom as to whether to run this.
Not everybody's comfortable with the sourcing, but we decided it's important enough to do, but let's warn you, like, maybe it's not, you know... I absolutely agree.
It would build trust for the New York Times enormously.
It would build trust because I would say, oh, okay, great, because that eternal sort of voice of God approach...
Actually, it may seem like, oh, that's the way to foster trust because you always sound authoritative and you know what you're talking about.
And Wikipedia is often written in that kind of voice.
But actually to say, you know what, actually, this is a bit of a messy topic, so we're kind of working on it.
I think it helps.
