Croatian Wikipedia Disinformation Assessment
As a Croatian-American who speaks Croatian, you never want to go to the Croatian version of Wikipedia. Anyways, a lot of this pressure being put on Wikipedia&#x2F;Wikimedia is through the investigative journalism organization, Balkan Insight (see links below that I referenced).<p>The reason why people do this stuff is because not only do they want war—-they want to commit genocide again.<p>Here is what I wrote about it a couple of months ago: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26788882" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26788882</a><p>It [Wikipedia] does have power over what it allows to be published, although it does not have the staff to enforce violations. As a Croatian-American who speaks Croatian, it is best to avoid the Croatian language Wikipedia pages about wars, with some more recent than others. It is quite hateful, xenophobic, and nationalistic. The news source I provided is investigative journalism for Balkan countries funded via European Union.<p>&gt; &quot;Wikimedia Foundation Inc, the US-based non-profit charitable NGO, is the owner of the Croatian version of Wikipedia.&quot; [1]<p>&gt; &quot;However, the Wikimedia Foundation is not the founder of the Croatian version, nor does it accept that it is responsible for the accuracy of its articles. It insists that it does not have any power over Croatian-language Wikipedia entries.&quot; [1]<p>Other reads are provided for reference [2][3][4].<p>[1] Wikipedia Not Responding to Inquiries on Croatian Entries: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;04&#x2F;23&#x2F;wikipedia-not-replying-to-inquires-on-croatian-entries-04-20-2018&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;04&#x2F;23&#x2F;wikipedia-not-replying-...</a><p>[2] Croatian Wikipedia Removes ‘Polish Genocide of Germans’ Claim: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;29&#x2F;croatian-wikipedia-removed-claims-on-polish-genocide-over-germans-03-29-2018&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;29&#x2F;croatian-wikipedia-remo...</a><p>[3] How Croatian Wikipedia Made a Concentration Camp Disappear: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;26&#x2F;how-croatian-wikipedia-made-a-concentration-camp-disappear-03-23-2018&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;03&#x2F;26&#x2F;how-croatian-wikipedia-...</a><p>[4] Croatia Wikipedia Alters Jasenovac Camp Entry Again: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;08&#x2F;29&#x2F;croatia-wikipedia-further-disputes-research-on-jasenovac-camp-08-29-2018&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;balkaninsight.com&#x2F;2018&#x2F;08&#x2F;29&#x2F;croatia-wikipedia-furth...</a>
