# [[Wikipedia]] described the [[People for the American Way]], which is a liberal advocacy group,<ref>http://www.nationalreview.com/york/york200507060931.asp</ref> as a "progressive advocacy organization"<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_For_the_American_Way</ref> and did not mention the term liberal in its lengthy description of it until well after this deficiency was first mentioned here.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=People_For_the_American_Way&diff=198768678&oldid=195716955</ref>

# On August 26, 2016, the UK Chapter of Wikimedia is conducting an edit session at the National Liberal Club "to get better, more in-depth coverage of liberal issues and liberal history in the online encyclopaedia, updating and expanding articles." No similar edit session has been scheduled for conservative issues or conservative history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.libdemvoice.org/wikipedia-editathon-on-liberal-history-51459.html|title=Wikipedia “edit-a-thon” on Liberal History|accessdate=August 10, 2016}}</ref>

# Various attempts have been made on Wikipedia to emphasize the controversial fact that [[Elizabeth Warren]]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Elizabeth_Warren&oldid=755585604</ref> claimed on many occasions to be a Native American and a "person of color" despite a lack of documented evidence. Due to the revival of this controversy by Donald Trump in the 2016 election, attempts were made to create a separate paragraph about the issue. However, a cabal of administrators instead insisted that the controversy remain buried in the bottom of a section about her 2012 campaign where many readers said they were unable to find it.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Elizabeth_Warren&oldid=755040824 This, for example ("Controversies"), where an editor did not know it was already in the article.</ref>
