This is one of the biggest problems with Wikipedia. The left uses it to manipulate perceptions on certain topics.
The New York Post reports:
Dozens of Wikipedia editors colluded on years-long anti-Israel campaign, bombshell ADL report claimsMore than two dozen Wikipedia editors allegedly colluded in a years-long scheme to inject anti-Israel language on topics related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the Anti-Defamation League claimed in a bombshell report released Tuesday.The rogue editors, at least 30 of them, flooded one of the world’s most popular sites with “antisemitic narratives, anti-Israel bias, and misleading information,” according to the report by the ADL’s Center for Tech and Society.The alleged bias also extended to pervasive “pro-Hamas perspectives” across Arabic-language Wikipedia content, the report claimed.“The values of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation reflect our commitment to integrity and accuracy, and we categorically condemn antisemitism and all forms of hate,” a spokesperson for the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia, told The Post in a statement.“Though our preliminary review of this report finds troubling and flawed conclusions that are not supported by the Anti-Defamation League’s data, we are currently undertaking a more thorough and detailed analysis,” the spokesperson said, adding that it’s “unfortunate” the ADL did not contact Wikimedia before the report’s release.The battle between the leading human rights group in the US and the nonprofit group heated up last year when Wiki editors declared the ADL an “unreliable source of information” about the Israel-Gaza war, according to the Washington Post.In January, Wikipedia’s arbitration board took disciplinary action against six “suspicious editors,” banning them from editing certain topics for trying to bully or intimidate other volunteer editors into making certain page changes, the ADL said at the time.The nonprofit’s latest report claims alleged anti-Israel editors deleted references to antisemitism and cleaned up pages on Hamas in a years-long campaign, ramping up the rogue edits since the terror group’s Oct. 7 massacre in Israel.In one instance, an NPR report about a young Palestinian flying a kite with a swastika on it was deleted from a Wikipedia page about Gaza protests, according to the report.Conspiring editors deleted reports of sexual violence by Hamas from Wikipedia content, while others systematically removed references to terrorist violence from pages on Hamas, the report said.
