Antisemitism on Wikipedia has been examined due to user conduct, possible anti-Jewish bias, and coverage of the Holocaust on English and other language Wikipedias. Starting in the early years of Wikipedia, antisemitic misconduct was observed and penalized. Wikipedia has also been accused of antisemitic bias in its coverage of Israel-related topics. In 2024, the English Wikipedia issued a controversial decision to deem the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a non-governmental organization that works against antisemitism and prejudice, as a "generally unreliable" source on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Antisemitism-related research has examined Wikipedia's treatment of the Holocaust[1] and its policy of neutrality.[2]
Scholars have also used Wikipedia data in sundry ways to research online antisemitism.[3][4] The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure used Wikidata to improve its coverage on Nazi-era ghettos and camps.[5] Richard Utz, a scholar of anti-Jewish medieval narratives, has called for Wikipedia editing to combat residual antisemitic sentiment and contemporary anti-Jewish propaganda.[6]

...other discussions (9 threads out of 60) are more easily identifiable as racist, anti-Semitic, revisionist or denialist remarks: Editors openly try to change the text of the lemma [article title], for example, by including a "Holocaust controversy" section or paragraphs about an alleged "Jewish striving to establish world dominion" prior to Adolf Hitler's rise to power, and by questioning the accuracy of the number of Jewish victims. Others try to argue that Jews should not be allowed to contribute to the writing of the lemma, they delete references to scholars because they seemingly have identified them as being biased due to their Jewish background, and some openly deny the Holocaust.
