The fact that each article can be broken down into smaller parts (sections, sentences, or even words) is what prevents a single author from writing an entire article and inserting his subjective viewpoint. Wikipedia achieves objectivity not through singularity, but through including multiple viewpoints. However, it should be noted that modularity is not always taken advantage of. There are plenty of articles that have only one author or have someone who rigorously edits all additions to a page that he does not agree with (i.e. Ted King on the Facebook page). The history tab can be a useful indicator of how objective an article is by indicating the number of different users who have contributed. </ins></div></td></tr>
