DU should have a Wikipedia forum

It's important that Wikipedia articles do not have a right-wing bias. So a Wikipedia forum on DU would be a good thing.

One example: The Wikipedia article about the Brooks Brothers riot in Florida in 2000 used to end like this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot):

"A Republican lawyer commented, "People were pounding on the doors, but they had an absolute right to get in.""

This could give the impression that the protesters reacted to something wrong. But I had just read an article about this, and could add the following sentence:

"The protest prevented official observers and members of the press from getting in."

So it was the protest that was the problem.
