George Washington Carver likely invented peanut butter first. He never bothered to patent or market most of his peanut uses.
Actually that's the one peanut product he didn't have a HAND in.
Fixed.

Yeah, there are some real battles behind the scenes between wiki editors wiping each others' work out. The discussion pages of some entries really flesh some of this out.

The answer to this is no. If the seventh most popular website in the world, an encyclopedia that is trusted as a source of information, is giving people misinformation or imposing its political views on its readers, that is something worth bitching about. I only go to wikipedia for entertainment based information so there won't be any political bias involved in finding out what season of The Simpsons has the episode were Sideshow Bob becomes mayor, but if a bias does exist then the opposition owes it to themselves to make themselves heard about the disparity.
Sweet Cthulhu, here we go again.
So here's the thing - why do you waste your time on "making yourselves heard", if you could just, you know, reedit the bias? Flag an article for neutrality, or something.
As Syd explained, anything you edit will immediately be changed back. When All-Star Batman and Robin #10 was supposed to come out but was recalled because it was poorly censored, I added the information to Wikipedia. It was then promptly removed even though it was accurate and was on a subject that could have no real slant.
