Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has jumped into a conflict over the online encyclopedia’s page on “Gaza genocide.” Just days after a Wikipedia editor froze changes to the article, Wales posted a statement on a page dedicated to discussing edits, saying the article “requires immediate correction” and is part of a broader neutrality problem on the site, where “there is much more work to do.”
On October 28th, a Wikipedia editor changed the status of the “Gaza genocide” page to “protected,” meaning editors can’t make changes to the article until November 4th, or until “editing disputes have been resolved,” according to a notice at the top of the article. As noted by Wikipedia, editors typically protect pages to prevent vandalism or “edit wars,” when multiple editors disagree about an article
