How do you plan to uphold the neutrally-written part? Wikipedia does not really do this; many editors try, but it is very difficult. This is especially true seeing as every one carries personal biases. How will you make sure opinions that do not agree with the majority of your users, editors, etc. are allowed?




I agree this is the most difficult problem for a global platform -- even Google Maps has to redraw the borders depending on whose asking. I would prefer a wiki where I can read different branches of the 'main' article. Instead of deleting paragraphs that don't agree with my sense of what's true, I can say 'please relegate this to a different branch' and let it be upvoted or downvoted or geo-fenced, but still have it available.

I do really appreciate their priority to keep open logs -- make sure editors and admins can be held accountable for making changes to the tone or frame of an article.
