In my 40s I asked my doc what I should get screened for and when. He said to wait until 50. Now I wait here on death row with stage 4 colorectal cancer.

Yeah, I do see where you're coming from. But just like with traditional media, Wikipedia as a "knowledge commons" maybe requires a slight left bias to guard against entrenched power and to raise awareness of marginalized perspectives.
As long as that's done in a way that protects knowledge integrity and relies on reliable sources and ethical review, I think I'm okay with that.
