Wikipedia launches code of conduct to combat harassment, add diversity
- Wednesday | 3rd February, 2021
(Reuters) – The foundation that operates Wikipedia will launch its first global code of conduct on Tuesday, seeking to address criticism that it has failed to combat harassment and suffers from a lack of diversity. “We need to be much more inclusive,” said María Sefidari, the chair of board of trustees for the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia is a relatively trusted site compared to major social media platforms which have struggled to curb misinformation. Maher said some users’ concerns that the new rules meant the site was becoming more centralized were unfounded. “A code of conduct without enforcement…is not going to be useful,” said Sefidari.
