[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jInbo'

[James Landau]

>Does anyone see any pun?
The word *jInbo'* plays off the name of Jimmy "Jxmbo" Wales, founder of Wikipedia. A big issue on Wikipedia is systemic bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias

The typical editor on the Wikipedia is a SWMAN -- Straight White Male Atheist Nerd -- like much of the deep Internet in general. There are some other biases: Wikipedians (on the English Wikipedia at least) tend to come from countries where English is a first language, and they're generally from the Northern Hemisphere (so describing seasons in the Southern Hemisphere often gets overlooked).

In recent years, the Wikipedia collective have become more aware of their intrinsic biases in editorship and the way the whole system's set up (reliable sources are easier to find in English than in, say, Kyrgyz), and many Wikipedian of the Year awards have gone to women, ethnic minorities, and English Wikipedia editors from underrepresented countries.
