Jimmy Wales called the proposed indefinite ban “ludicrous”, but editors overruled him after accusing Larry Sanger of canvassing supporters, challenging source rules and backing greater accountability for Wikipedia’s powerful anonymous administrators during the online dispute.
ew research by the Neutral Point of View (NPOV) Media reveals how the anti-Hindu editors have peddled propaganda against the US-based Hindu American Foundation (HAF) on Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia page (English) of the Cockroach Janta Party, however, has one of its contributing authors alleged to be a Pakistani. The page was heavily edited by one Salim Bin Yousuf, who, according to his Wikipedia author page, is from “Kashmir, South Asia”.
OpIndia has consistently been highlighting how Wikipedia is populated by several editors who are driven by anti-Hindu and anti-India ideological biases and are inserting these biases in the pages they edit, as exemplified in the case of Dhurandhar.
Talk page debates show multiple editors objecting to selective sourcing, misrepresentation of The Independent, and violation of neutrality norms, arguing that the “propaganda” label lacks consensus and reflects contested editorial push, not established fact.
Former insiders allege covert Wikipedia manipulation continued for years despite ethical bans, with subtle edits used to bury criticism, polish reputations and influence narratives now amplified globally through search engines and AI generated summaries.

Grokipedia, launched by Elon Musk’s company xAI, hosts over 6.8 million articles in multiple languages. The platform focuses on factual accuracy and allows users to report errors for AI validation and correction.
Currently in its test phase with around 885,000 articles, Grokipedia defines gender through biological classification, unlike Wikipedia’s social perspective, reflecting Musk’s push for factual narratives and transparency in AI-generated online knowledge platforms.
