It's an account created to avoid doxxing myself. My Wikipedia username is easily linked to my main HN account. I still rarely make minor Wikipedia edits now and then, and don't want my account banned.

Anyone who's edited Wikipedia long enough will recognize the pattern of what I'm describing. It's not a misrepresentation.




I would really like to read some concrete examples.


As a start you can look at the following page.

https://www.reddit.com/r/WatchWikipediaDie/wiki/scandals


I read through like half of those, and they generally paint a picture of Wikipedia acting well in regards to external controversy, or (mostly robustly) responding to manipulation attempts.


If you scroll down to the bottom of that page you'll see a different story.


Thnaks.


You're welcome.
