Copertura

Croatian Wikipedia is generally regarded by the rest of the Wikimedia Movement as having significant neutrality issues, resulting from the capture of the project by politically-motivated editors who have driven out or blocked others,, but also more elegantly supressed liberal content and hyper-presented conservative nationalist and catholic. Gizmodo describes its bias as "promoting fascism, whitewashing World War II concentration camps, as well as anti-Serbian and anti-LGBT propaganda".

As of start of 2021, the situation is slowly improving, though it is still periodically mentioned in the media as a bad example.

Storia ed impatto

Pietre miliari/eventi

• 2013: Significant media attention and cultural debate in Croatia about the project's bias issues, and subsequent Meta RfC
• 2020: proposta di blocco globale dell'amministratore di hr.wiki Kubura
• 2021: 3 most problematic admins removed by community in March (Roberta F. remained admin on sister projects). The WMF comissioned and, a few months later, published the Croatian Wikipedia Disinformation Assessment, conducted by an anonymous academic researcher. Findings confirmed historic revisionism and problematic content bias.
