		<description>&lt;p&gt;Wikipedia is my source for almost-everything but it definitely shows up some big biases at times. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For instance: the page for &quot;bride price&quot; for instance is sooooo over-the-top in anthropological cultural-sensititivity that there is no reference to how high bride prices result in bride kidnapping in some poor parts of the world (eg. parts of Ethiopia). The entire page for &quot;bride price&quot; is completely positive towards the bride price practice - instead of ackowledging that it could be a practice that has both positive and (very) negative consequences at times (as does anything).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have started to correct all the pages that I see as ommitting important information or viewpoints (usually the omission was something deliberately done - eg. a section deleted - rather than a mere oversight). I am keeping a record of all the pages I correct so that I can easily &quot;re-correct&quot; the page at a later date if I go back and see that it has become biased again.&lt;/p&gt;
