Ever fancy quick access to alternative opinions?
Let Wikipedia+ do the searching for you...

Wouldn't it be simple if 'official sources' never made mistakes, if TV, WWW & newspapers contained only unbiased presentations of the truth?
Wikipedia+ is a tool for those of us who know that life is not that simple.

If you use Wikipedia, but also value other opinions, Wikipedia+ is a browser extension that may help. It looks at the URL you are browsing, and silently checks other websites you are interested in to see if they contain relevant information. If so, a notification pops up with links to the matching pages, so alternative points of view are only one click away. Nowadays, Wikipedia has almost become a mainstream media source, and as such, it has a well-established bias:

"To the extent that a subject is judged threatening to established power and the widespread acceptance of 'official narratives' of events, the reliability and ultimate accuracy of Wikipedia articles touching on it is likely to be compromised. At the extremes of power and perceived threat, Wikipedia's 'Neutral-Point-of-View' principle pretty much guarantees that the compromise will be fundamental."[1]

Wikipedia+ alleviates this somewhat by allowing you to choose for yourself sources of information with which to supplement Wikipedia.
