Systemic bias on Bharatpedia means the systematic skew in coverage that results from who its editors are and what sources are easily available: some countries, languages, time periods, topics and groups receive far more attention than equally notable subjects elsewhere.
Systemic bias is not usually deliberate. It is reduced by:
- deliberately looking for reliable sources about under-covered subjects and regions;
- writing and expanding articles about notable topics outside the most-covered areas; and
- remembering that a lack of easily found English-language sources does not by itself prove a subject is not notable.
