Reduce Content Gaps and Improve Global Coverage
I've done a major rewrite of some of these sections. Can you look see if you can edit it to make it better?
I've taken out "Diverse viewpoints" as IMHO we want only want a neutral viewpoint. We do however need contributors with a more diverse set of experience and knowledge.
OK?
Not all of our projects have a requirement for a neutral point of view. :)
Yes but I still think my rewrite is better. Wikipedia is our flagship project and I don;t want to give the trolls any coer for their attacks on it.
I'm actually rather fond of the idea behind diverse viewpoints, but maybe it's not expressed well.
What we're looking for is this: we have gaps in our understanding of issues because of the fact that our editing base is largely not diverse - predominately educated young men from the global north. We're missing a diversity of ideas and thoughts on talk pages, for instance, that help us coalesce around a better understanding of topics. Perhaps "point of view" is the wrong verbiage, but I feel pretty strongly that the idea is correct. Can you help me phrase it better?
"Not all of our projects have a requirement for a neutral point of view." Are you sure? Which projects don't?
