#Some pages aren't well-detailed and have barely any information. One of them used to be the LU (biscuits) page, in which there was a dispute over whether LU is a French, Pakistani, or American brand despite it being French due to being part of the culture of Nantes. The page has fortunately since been fixed.

#There was an incident involving the then-contributor of the site Ryulong, and Crash Override Network.

#The admins, bots, and users on the site can occasionally cause problems, such as ClueBot NG, NinjaRobotPirate, and Materialscientist. Even standard users such as Island92, Serols, and Asher Heimermann also can sometimes cause problems~~. Some users can be considered unfriendly to some due to their political agendas~~.

#The admins, bots, and users on the site can occasionally cause problems, such as Bbb23, ClueBot NG, NinjaRobotPirate, Sro23, Drmies, Zzuuzz, Widr, Elockid, OhNoItsJamie, Ponyo, ScottishFinnishRadish, Either Way and Materialscientist. Even standard users such as Island92, MarnetteD, Ebyabe, Serols, City of Silver, Beyond My Ken, Fourthords, and Asher Heimermann also can sometimes cause problems.

#*Asher, in particular, is an issue as he added a removed America link back and called the person who deleted it a vandal. He was once blocked for advertising and disruptive editing back in 2007.

#*An admin by the username SummerPhD<sup>v2.0</sup> threatened to block a user by the name of The Man from Snowy River for "vandalism", when all they did was add pertinent cast members to a page about the film ''Benji the Hunted''. Summer dismissed the user's arguments by claiming that being uncredited automatically makes an actor "minor", and therefore, does not belong on a certain film article. She also ignored the user's advice that he got most of the information from the director of the film, thus proving that the names of the actors were indeed sourced.

#**Summer also proved to be a massive hypocrite as she threatened to block the user for "vandalizing" the page, when she herself was the one doing the vandalism.

#*Drmies is also known for being a hypocrite and has a history of threatening and harassing users, he also refuses to take criticism and lies to users constantly. Additionally, he would write nasty rude talk page messages and even blames users for causing vandalism were he literally was the one causing the vandalism in the first place. He also likes to mock and make fun of users who tries to warn him over his corruptive behavior.

#The Hungarian version is lower quality compared to other language versions of Wikipedia due to how inactive the edit-verifiers are, the existence of sub-stubs, sourced edits being undone, America linking (see below) being even more common than on the English Wikipedia, corrupt admins such as Gerry89, Pallerti, and Csigabi, and innocent users being blocked for no reason. There's also no pages for a lot of important things, such as the French region of Brittany and the bombing of London during World War 2/The Blitz (despite being documented on the Battle of Britain (''Angliai csata'') page).

#*For example, an innocent anonymous user was blocked for "vandalism", when all they did was removing speedy deletion templates on a page they created about the singer Varga Irén.

#Some of the pages have some uncensored nudity and/or gore, which can make it inappropriate or scary for some audiences/readers especially the minors.

##To make things worse, there's no warning about these NSFW and NSFL images.

#If you are indefinitely blocked, there is a "standard offer" that requires users to wait 6 months, although it's likely to make sure that users reflect on their past actions.

#If you are indefinitely blocked, there is a "standard offer" that requires users to wait 6 months before appealing, although it's likely to make sure that users reflect on their past actions.

#*This can make appealing hard at times, as some people may need Wikipedia for a specific thing before 6 months.

#*This can make appealing hard at times, as some people may need Wikipedia for a specific thing before 6 months, and admins may choose to decline a unblock request or appeal.

#*Fortunately, if you actually write a good block request, and if you write a credible proposal to deal with issues in the future, you can get unblocked earlier than 6 months.
