AllSides is an American company that estimates the bias of sources. In the 2022 RfC, editors found that reliability varies among its articles and should be determined on a case-by-case basis. A slight consensus believes that while the high-confidence ratings are generally reliable as they are reviewed carefully by experts, others depend on blind user surveys they consider opinionated and less reliable, though the inclusion of even reliable statements should be evaluated with WP:Due weight. A significant amount of users disagreed and argued that AllSides's methodology, which is partly based on the opinions of users, makes it unsuitable for Wikipedia. A significant minority of users noted that AllSides has been referenced in reliable sources as an accurate source for media bias ratings.
