Progressive commentator Kyle Kulinski claimed Wednesday that his Wikipedia account was deleted due to the actions of "neoliberal trolls."
"Neoliberal trolls successfully got my Wikipedia page deleted," he tweeted. "That's both hilarious and sad. If you're not part of the club they do everything they can to erase you, quite literally."
According to Kulinski, the entry is now "protected," meaning another page covering his life can only be created it if it's approved by the website's administrators.
"To be fair it exists in a bunch of foreign languages. Just not English," he added.
Political commentator Nomiki Konst responded to Kulinski's Twitter thread and alleged that she was in a similar situation due to a Reddit page that "echoes" Neera Tanden, who is widely known for her support and ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
"They did the same to my wiki per actual direction of a reddit page that echos Neera, then when it finally went back up they swarmed it with false info. And crap from a hit peice [sic] they pitched."
Tesla founder Elon Musk previously called his Wikipedia entry "insane." He pointed to its many edits, as well as the label of "investor," which he pushed back against.
Reports on Wikipedia's accuracy have revealed mixed results. A 2015 Forbes report claimed that the website is biased toward the political left when compared to Encyclopedia Britannica. Conversely, a Live Science report found that Wikipedia is roughly as accurate as its competitor.
