Infogalactic possibly engages in [[anti-Semitism]] through their "Israel lobby" articles.<ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Israel_lobby</ref> The idea that Israel manipulates U.S. foreign policy is a common anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist canard. Infogalactic disparages popular [[classical liberal]] [[Jordan Peterson]], and Peterson's article even contains unsourced [[9/11 conspiracy theories]]. Infogalactic severely disparages popular [[mainstream conservative]] [[Ben Shapiro]], including as a "neo-conservative" and repeatedly as a "cuckservative." Both Shapiro and Peterson are referred to as "controlled opposition."<ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Jordan_Peterson</ref><ref>https://infogalactic.com/info/Ben_Shapiro</ref>

On February 17, 2017, an administrator at Infogalactic announced: "After discussion in the council, it was determined that we use BC/AD. New articles and edits should use that style. If you are quoting material, use the quoted style (perhaps with a [BC|AD] after dates in the [[BCE and CE|[BCE|CE]]] style)."<ref>[https://infogalactic.com/w/index.php?title=Infogalactic:Galactic_boardroom&diff=724679024&oldid=724679023 Admin Crew on the use of A.D. and B.C. for dating rather than C.E. and B.C.E.]</ref>
