Wikipedia/Censorship
Wikipedia's policy of allowing editing even without a login creates significant problems of spam and vandalism. This article is not about those, but about censorship. Wikipedia's explicitly establishment friendly policy of assuming that commercially-controlled media is reliable and that events they choose to ignore are not notable assists those who can censor the commercially-controlled media to effectively censor Wikipedia. Certain lines of thought on particular topics are reverted within minutes.
Less obvious, but no less pernicious, is the use of "notability" to remove entire pages which keeps certain topics off the agenda and certain people out of the limelight. The Pinay Cercle article was cut down due to reliance on the same "self-published source" cited on Wikispooks to just over 200 words, as of December 2013. Kevin Annett has been repeatedly censored as non-notable, decades of devoted and successful work notwithstanding.

Detecting Wikipedia's censorship
Certain wikipedia pages are regularly monitored to ensure particular viewpoints are excluded. If you suspect censorship, click on the View history tab to see a summary of all revisions to the page, including the time, date, editor name, article lenth, edit length, and (optional) edit summary. Below is part of the history of the Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center page. It shows a pattern of repeated, fast, reversion of edits, a strong indication of censorship:
The edit reversions are marked. They are indicated by a green number with an red identical number just above. For example, see the fifth line down: on 22:32, an anonymous user (202.83.83.108) made an edit which increased the article length by 24 bytes, only for user Chicago god to remove 24 bytes the same minute.
Circumventing Wikipedia's censorship
To investigate the edits, click on the reversion (later edit, typically a red bytecount) and the edit below. Then click on "compare selected revisions" and wikipedia will show you the change(s) made. This may of course be vandalism or spam, but it may also be censhorship. While unwanted on Wikipedia, material which challenges the official narrative may be welcome on Wikispooks, especially if it is referenced. Another tip for investigation is to click on the contribs link next to the author, to see a list of all the edits they have made on Wikipedia. If some of their edits are being censored, this is a good indication that their other edit may be of interest.
Pages Censored by Wikipedia

|---|---|
| 2001 Anthrax attacks/Timeline | A detailed and revealing timeline about the Amerithrax attacks, deleted from Wikipedia in April 2014, recovered from an archive at Deletionpedia. |
| 2001 Israeli Nerve Gas Attacks | For 6 weeks in early 2001, Israel is reported to have carried out a series of nerve gas attacks on Palestinian civilian populations in both Gaza and the West Bank. |
| 9-11/Censorship | A range of tactics have been employed to try to stifle dissent about 9/11, from ad hominem attacks to assassination. As of 2016, censorship is ongoing. |
| 9-11/E-4B | An E-4B was spotted over the White house and the Pentagon on 9/11. The official narrative for more than a decade was not to talk about it, although it was reported on CNN and video, photos and eye witnesses do exist. Later declassification did prove the basic fact that the plane was present. |
| 9-11/Premature death | Many people have been killed in an effort to suppress the truth about 9/11. Where convenient, deaths have been made to look accidental or illness related. Sometimes people have been "suicided", making it hard to know exactly how many were murdered. |
| 9-11/WTC7/Destruction/Censorship | A very telling omission by the corporate media, lasting for several years, that totally suppressed mention of the complete (forewarned) collapse of WTC7. Note that the 911 originally neglected to give an account of this unprecedented event. |
| 9-11/Whistleblowers | Many people have sought to share important evidence about 9/11, using inside knowledge from a professional capacity. |
| Ziad Abdelnour | A neoconservative financier who was disciplined by the SEC. |
| Arms Dealer | A "third rail" topic for commercially-controlled media. Wikipedia has nothing to say on the topic. |
| Scott Bennett | Spent 2 years in jail as a result of speaking his mind and attempting to blow the whistle on fraud and corruption inside the US war machine. |
| CIA/Drug trafficking/Exposure | Drug trafficking by intelligence agencies — especially the CIA — is, as of 2019, pretty widely understood to be a part of their modus operandi. This follows decades of research into and publicity about this topic, most notably by Gary Webb who broke the story of CIA Drug trafficking over the early WWW. |
| James Corbett | James Corbett is a popular critic of the US establishment who has been active on the internet since 2007. |
| David Kelly/Assassination | On 17 July 2003, David Kelly allegedly committed suicide by swallowing 29 co-proxamol tablets and cutting to his ulnar artery (wrist) with a blunt pruning knife. He was writing a book exposing high level corruption at the time and had given no indication of depression. An official inquest was commenced but never completed. |
| Jack Davis | CIA, censored from Wikipedia |
| Deep event | An event which has major influence on the politics of a country or group of countries by virtue of its psychological impact on populations, principally through corporate media construction and reporting of what becomes its "official narrative".

| Bill Fairclough | Bill Fairclough's biography |
| Mohammed Ferrat | Mohammed Samir Ferrat was reportedly killed aboard Flight TWA 800. He was a colleague of Ron Brown who had died 3 months earlier in another suspicious plane crash.

| Anthony Hall | Academic targeted by B'nai B'rith in 2016 for "using his academic credentials to deny the Holocaust and promote 9/11 conspiracy theories." |
| Emad Abdalla Hassan | A person who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, sold to US for $5000 and has been subject to illegal imprisonment and torture in Guantanamo Bay for years. Cleared for release in 2010, he was transferred to Oman on June 13, 2015. |

| JFK/Assassination/Perpetrators | Mark Gorton terms this group "the cabal" and suggests that they are responsible for a large number of treasonous crimes up to the present day. The group includes two subsequent US presidents, Lyndon Johnson and George H. W. Bush. |
| JFK/Assassination/Premature death | Dozens of people were killed in a vain effort to suppress the truth about the JFK Assassination. Where convenient, deaths have been made to look accidental or illness related. Sometimes people were "suicided", making it hard to know exactly how many were murdered. |
| Pierre Jovanovic | A critic of the system of fiat currency and central banks. His page was removed from French Wikipedia. |
| Isaac Kappy | An actor who died aged 42 after accusing former Hollywood friends of paedophilia. |
| Lawrence E. King | Prosecuted for fraud but not for the Franklin child prostitution ring. Wikipedia removed his page. |
| Nuclear demolition | Use of nuclear explosions to demolish buildings was first mooted in the late 1960s. This article on the topic is based on a page which appeared and was soon removed from Wikipedia in March 2010. It is based on the work of Dimitri Khalezov. |
| Official narrative | The "Official Narrative" is the cover story of "the powers that be". On Wikispooks this generally means the story intended for citizens of the so-called 'Western Democracies'. This could be the truth, but the term is usually reserved for use in cases in which it departs significantly from the truth (which may be be unclear or completely unknown, cover by a veil of official lies). |
| Official opposition narrative | The Official Opposition Narrative is the alternative cover story of "the powers that be". Debate is generally encouraged between the two. |
| The Corbett Report | Named as an outlet of "Fake News" by PropOrNot. Censored and deranked by Youtube and Twitter. |

| Rosa Koire | “Ministry of truth: If you are like me you use Wikipedia along with lots of other sources and find it helpful with many fact-based questions. It's the 'peoples encyclopedia'. That is, until you decide to update the Agenda 21, Communitarianism, Sustainable Development, or Asset Based Community Development listings. Then you'll find yourself censored and pounding at the gates. I was successful with a few of these, for a while, but then the gatekeepers found my additions and censored them. They said I was a conspiracy theorist and if I persisted in posting I'd be barred from making any changes or posts to Wikipedia in the future.” | Rosa Koire |
