Discussion: Thinking about Wikipedia
editI think Wikipedia's definition of neutrality is simple. Wikipedia doesn't post articles that are biased. The articles are written in such a way the writer doesn't praise nor condemn a topic. If Wikipedia was written 100 years ago the content on certain topics wouldn't have much evidence. If Wikipedia is written 100 years from now there would probably be video articles.

He opened his first greyhound track, VictoryLand in Macon County in 1984, shortly after a gambling referendum was passed. He used his family land as collateral for the $10-12 million investment. The track was an immediate success. In early 2000's he opened up a hotel called "The Oasis". "The Oasis" consisted of a ten floor hotel building with gambling machines inside of it and a full restaurant. This was the only huge casino and dog track in Alabama so it brought about millions of people and money. Despite Victoryland being a million dollar comapany, it closed down in 2010. Attorney General Luther Strange said a search warrant was issued after investigators determined the gambling machines at VictoryLand were illegal under state law. The argument contintued by lawyers for Victoryland firing back that the attorney general was trampling on acts of legal business.

It is probably reliable but not neutral because their democrats which mean their opinions could be biased.
*It's not just Democrats who may be biased. More importantly, Democrats can be neutral as well, just like Republicans. The question is what "Occupy Democrats" is. Dr Aaij (talk) 03:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
This artice is not reliable. This is a face book post so any one can write anything on the post.
*It's not even an article: it's a meme. Anyone can make one. But it would be more useful to focus on the content and the message, and whether any facts are involved. Dr Aaij (talk) 03:21, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
