Imagine a middle school student researching the Israel-Palestine conflict for a social studies assignment, trusting Wikipedia—the first result in their Google search and the same source powering ChatGPT's answers to their questions. What the child doesn't know is that behind the seemingly neutral information are coordinated editing campaigns that might be feeding them biased, distorted, antisemitic, or incomplete facts about this complex issue. When Wikipedia gets these sensitive topics wrong, it doesn't just affect one homework assignment—it shapes how an entire generation understands world conflicts and potentially spreads misinformation and antisemitic narratives to millions of people who have no reason to suspect Wikipedia being anything but fair and balanced. You can help set the record straight by joining ADL in urging Wikipedia to create expert review panels for contentious topics and insisting on properly verifying claims with reliable sources.
