About this article
editI started this article because people continuously ask me about how fact-checking works in Wikipedia.
I regret that I have not just now identified journalism or research which describes the process of fact-checking in Wikipedia. As a Wikipedia editor I am familiar with the process, but in these news sources I cited here in this initial draft the journalists likely found it too complicated to explain and just skipped it.
Fact-checking is science, art, engineering, culture, community outreach, research, and faith combined. Wikipedia editors can talk about any of these things. I feel like we need this article, but as with all of Wikipedia, we only present what we can back with sources to cite. I hope this article supports researchers and journalists in more deeply exploring how and why fact-checking in Wikipedia works. Blue Rasberry (talk) 00:39, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
