Wikipedia Review was an Internet forum and blog for the discussion of Wikimedia Foundation projects, in particular the content and conflicts of Wikipedia.[3][4] Wikipedia Review sought to act as a watchdog website, scrutinizing Wikipedia and reporting on its flaws.[5] It provided an independent forum to discuss Wikipedia editors and their influence on Wikipedia content. At its peak, participants included current Wikipedia editors, former Wikipedia editors, users banned from Wikipedia, and people who had never edited.[6] The last post was on 31 May 2012.[7]
