Barriers to access Wikipedia are low.(if you have unfiltered internet access)
Barriers to participate in Wikipedia are low.(aside from barriers indigenous people can face such as script illiteracy)
Wikipedia’s transparency allows for anyone to decide for themselves about
fairness of editorial decisions.
Thanks to transparency in changes made and topics covered,
Wikipedia can be a platform for highlighting biases using evidence.
