I'm not informed about anything Larry Sanger has said, but there genuinely is coordinated wiki vandalism from left wing groups that's been documented. I'm saying this is as someone on the left.

His actual ban was for trying to coordinate a group of conservatives to edit the platform, not for making the site more conservative. Essentially brigading which they have rules against

And coordinated vandalism from right wing groups, and from corporate interests, and from celebrities...

Then why are you only criticizing left wing vandalism as if it is a unique issue and ignoring the much more prominent corporate vandalism and white washing, or right wing vandalism? "As someone on the left," you are oddly going out of your way to make this seem like a unique issue of the left when it very much is not. It is almost like you are actually a fascist.

I talked about left wing vandalism because most people here seem to be scoffing at the idea that there's any bad actors on the left editing Wikipedia. Regardless...buddy, you genuinely need to take a break from the internet from the year. How does your brain go from "left wing vandalism of Wikipedia exists" to "you must be a fascist"? This is not a normal thought process.

Whats funny is theres a conserva-pedia, where only conservative slants and views are allowed. Its a fun scroll.

Unironically enjoyable to read through bits of it. Like reading fiction based loosely on reality.

And equally you can find records of wiki editors removing those.
