Wikipedia Newspeak is the increasingly biased and limited vocabulary of Wikipedia. "Newspeak" is a term coined in George Orwell's 1984[1] to describe the vocabulary in a totalitarian society, in which words are crafted to control the mind.
For example, the term "theory of evolution" exists on about 1.8 million sites, according to Google, but is censored as a legitimate term on Wikipedia.[2] Why? Because the Wikipedia police do not want anyone to think that evolution is a theory rather than fact. That is Wikipedia Newspeak at work.
