They have Radio Free Asia as a greenlisted reliable source here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources
So anything on Radio Free Asia is considered verified by Wikipedia’s standards.
Radio Free Asia is openly a branch of the USA’s government. It was created by Bill Clinton’s government.
Ctrl+F Radio Free Asia on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China gives 32 results
I scanned and Jacobin, al-Jazeera, The New Republic are the best there.
Voice of America is also greenlisted.
Wikileaks is verboten even though Wikileaks has never been known to publish a single fake document.
I remember that al-Jazeera recently wasn’t allowed for Israel, but I’m too lazy to look it up now.

Every time Amerika commits evil, it’s “allegations”:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIA_drug_trafficking_allegations
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_United_States_support_for_the_Khmer_Rouge
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_biological_warfare_in_the_Korean_War
Even the Native American genocide gets the passive tense
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_genocide_in_the_United_States
The destruction of Native American peoples, cultures, and languages has been characterized as genocide. Debates are ongoing as to whether the entire process and which specific periods or events meet the definitions of genocide or not.

I know we have a tendency to notice specifically the aspects of Wikipedia that consolidate the worldview of the State Department, but it seems there’s also some very active Catholic editing to discredit any critique of any popes. I fell into a wild Wikipedia rabbit hole last year on this topic, and the more “Talk” pages I read and edits I followed I now think there’s some Vatican deep state that has a small but dedicated Wikipedia army lol.
Anyways my favourite of the thing you’re looking for is that the most closely guarded claim I’ve seen on Wikipedia is on the Working Time page: "Standard working hours of countries worldwide are around 40 to 44 hours per week (but not everywhere: from 35 hours per week in France[4] to up to 105 hours per week in North Korean labor camps)]. Source? A defector who left Korea 30 years ago who said “Those accommodated are mobilized for forced labor from 5:00am to 7:00pm in winter, and till 8:00pm in summer.”
There’s a whole atheist ‘le sceptic’ agenda to edit it too that I got in trouble once for talking about.
Ya I got a lot of push back when I mentioned that a lot if the skeptic pages are sourced with blogs.
There’s even a book-length treatment of Psi Wars: TED, Wikipedia and the Battle for the Internet
The sort of dogmatic idiots who write RationalWiki are blatant in brigading wikipedia for their agenda.
Even their own side criticised their tactics: https://medium.com/@kattours/guerrilla-skeptics-on-wikipedia-gsow-was-founded-in-2010-by-susan-gerbic-who-was-also-a-founder-74226822a59
Saints, too. The Padre Pio page is hilariously written in two voices, one that believes all supernatural phenomena, and one that keeps repeating that he bought carbolic acid one town over so as to fake his stigmata.

Vs.

(It used to be worse, because the latter article used to be called “Uyghur genocide”)

Found myself here a while back. Was having fun reading up ancient aliens and stuff and then saw they listed Historical Materialism. Their reason? Some conservative philosopher said “nu uh”
Wikipedia has Reddit brain. Any article about any subject is viewed equal. Except when the article is a primary or secondary source (those are too biased) or if they’re on the No-no list, or if they’re not on the Good list. I’ve seen “sources” that were 20 years behind the current science/level of discussion be used. Absolute joke of a “resource”.
My brother in christ this “pseudoscience” has predicted more things historically than any of your neoliberal financial nonsence you try to pass off as irrefutable facts and nature itself.
In fact nature itself IS materialism, it is literally a continuation of darwinistic thinking about evolution which has perfectly explained how we and everything around us came to be.
