One thing I haven't seen brought up throughout the dialogue about Wikipedia and bias:

Since the entire edit history is available, isn't it possible / practical / probably not crazy hard w/ AI help to build a "dissentipedia", where the articles are built as if various edit wars had gone the other way?

I'd certainly read such a thing and compare / contrast it to WikiPedia (particularly when looking for cited primary sources).



You'd have to figure out a way to distinguish vanadalism wars from more interpretation oriented edit wars as a starting point.


I had the same idea. I’d imagine you could automate it if you found the right algorithms.
