[Web4lib] WIKIPEDIA is now politically correct

[Chris Tinney]

The "political correctness" phrase was a subtle statement
by the writer that compared the rise of Wikipedia and its
compilation by the "unwashed" educated masses, with
the rise of the American democratic process; the creation
of the Constitution of the United States, wherein a society
was ordered by former "unwashed" people, who had the
audacity to believe that the common man could self-govern.
UNWASHED: ignorant, plebeian

The "political correctness" phrase seems to be poor labeling, but I would
cautiously agree that Wikipedia has much broader acceptance.
