Wikipedia banned eight volunteer editors from making changes to articles on the Arab-Israeli conflict, following a ruling on Thursday by the online encyclopedia’s Arbitration Committee.
In June, Wikipedia editors targeted the Anti-Defamation League, declaring it an “unreliable source” whose data could not be relied upon when it comes to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
When Wikipedia first announced disciplinary action against the Wikipedia editors, the ADL issued a press release praising the decision “in the wake of a massive effort by anti-Israel editors to spread misinformation and hate across the platform.”
ADL listed all but one of the banned anti-Israel editors. It named “Iskandar323,” “Selfstudier,” “Nableezy,” “Levivich” and “Nishidani” as “being part of a bad-faith campaign in an attempt t o undermine the credibility of ADL.”
Removed for being “olds”, not news. 😉

Here’s the actual Arbitration Committee motion if anyone wants to read it. I haven’t yet, so I can’t say if I agree or disagree.
What I will generically caution is that people looking at Wikipedia from the outside in tend to vastly overestimate their understanding of how Wikipedia works, why things are done, and especially what actually happened when there’s an event reported outside the project.
I guess I’m happy to answer if there are questions about what jargon means, but specifics I’d have to investigate.
RIP Wikipedia, now visibly controlled by zionists
Now that’s a subtle opinion.
Dude, honestly, fuck off. You have absolutely zero idea what you’re talking about. You read an article (and maybe that’s a generous assumption) published over a year ago by an outlet I seriously doubt you’ve ever heard of about a governing body you’ve never heard of and editors you’ve definitely never heard of that didn’t take even a single quote from Wikipedia and that I don’t think you could interpret even if they did. You are devaluing the hard work of hundreds of thousands of editors because you like to think you know jack shit when you haven’t taken more than three minutes to look into this.
We’ll keep being one of the most important resources in the history of mankind – a light in a world succumbing to the darkness of fascism and disinformation, you can keep pissing and crying on social media, and we’ll leave it at that.
Has been for a while, the literally erased all the non-jewish victims from the Holocaust a few years ago.
Well, it’s a Western website, it’s to be expected. Sad though, but the people who feel they’re morally right in their raping, murdering and displacing of the natives they’ve invaded evidently don’t care about the truth either, lol.
Never have
Yikes. It’s common knowledge the ADL has stopped actually fighting anti-semitism in favor of sucking as much Zionist cock as possible. Bad decision that lowers my trust in Wikipedia as a whole.
Bad decision
You haven’t read it. Guaranteed. I don’t mean that it’ll change your mind if you do; I mean I know you haven’t read it and don’t know anything about it. Why are you talking like you have?
In trying to read it and it’s got some abbreviation that is never clarified. What is an AE? This entire thread is formatted like bot info and it’s so fucking hard to parse on mobile. I wish Wikipedia used some of donations to update their UI.
Was it ever anything besides a pro-Zionist organization? Things are just more in the open and they’re acting more rashly now because the settler colony understands that, with the rise of a multinodal world and reduced comparative power, their days are counted. Kinda like the US empire, right?
