Crap or questionable articles

Good, bad, biased, paid or what-have-you. There's an endless supply.

Disregarding your own opinions on these accusations, this has to be the most biased article I've ever read on Wikipedia. If you go into the talk page you can see Muboshgu, who I saw mentioned here once, trying to defend the article, along with other liberal lunatics hellbent on keeping the article in its current abysmal state. Shocker, it's also protected to prevent people from correcting the propaganda and bringing it up to a somewhat reasonable standard.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia_in ... -narrative

Or how about their response to the refutation of the Russiagate hoax? Wikipedia's political articles have been completely captured by true blue Dems with support from admins with liberal bias they brandish remarkably openly.

I challenge anyone here to share more editorialized articles than these, if they exist I'm sure all of you would know better than anyone.

there's always "veracity of statements by Donald Trump" but your examples are also typical of the Trump hate from the wikipedos

Tristan Tafel

this single sentence stub was created ten years ago and has remained largely the same since then, except for some vandalism to the infobox:
Nickname(s) Chode
Nationality Chinese, Macus Donaldus Trumpus
Born February 26, 1990 (age 33)
Canmore, Alberta[1]
Height 5 ft 1 in (1.55 m)[1]
Weight 125 lb (57 kg)[1]
the infobox originally listed his height as 5' 11'', his weight as 185 pounds, and his nationality as Canadian. the single ref is a deadlink. :always improving:

The author has created many such stubs. Kind of similar to Lugnuts' history. Wonder if they'll eventually be b& too.

Owen Shroyer

widely known on the internet as the guy who argued with AIDS Skrillex/Carl the Cuck et al
Owen Shroyer (born 1989 or 1990) is an American television personality who presented the War Room show on the far-right platform InfoWars.
Owen Shroyer was born in St. Louis[1] in 1985 or 1986[2] to mother Annette Shroyer.[3]
even though the article was created only two days ago it has already been vandalized so i dont suppose this can be blamed on the author but the article is still a crap stub

TELL ME AGAIN THAT WIKIPEDIA IS WP:NOTNEWS.

Go ahead.

And then, explain this away.

Richard Hanania, a minor crank IMO, didn't "deserve" a Wikipedia bio until a week ago. Started August 7 (take a bow, Lonelyboy2012).

It's truly amazing how much of it appears copied over from the RationalWiki article. (Why are they using his brother as "proof" that Hanania is an evil monster? Do they think he ordered Edward to murder dogs?) The RW article predates the WP article by two months. And was edited by a succession of unexplained socks and open-proxy IP addresses. Typical RW: a pure defamation and trolling platform.

Someone should ask Lonelyboy2012 if he's a sockpuppet from RationalWiki. Because he certainly is interested in the same right-wingers and extremists that RW hates on. Actually would not be surprised if all of these "editors" are socks controlled by Trent Toulouse or David Gerard.

Who is clearly watching it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_music

Insanely WP:OVERCITE'd and contains all sorts of POV pushing and arbitrary quotations. Edit history reveals a history of edit warring, shredding, and talk page fights.

This article somehow manages to meet WP:OVERCITE and WP:UNDERCITE simultaneously.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(Latvia)

And related articles. Seems fine at first, until you realize that it does not mention any of their policies or what they believe in - this is deliberate. Almost the entire article was written by obvious CIA sockpuppets.

It was created back in 2010 by the most obvious CIA agent ever, but received little attention. That is, until the Ukraine war. Since then it has received much more attention and has been primarily been maintained by a neocon NATO agent by the name of Ivario
