#Some of their info can be wrong sometimes and cannot be trusted.

#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 Bbb23, ClueBot NG, NinjaRobotPirate, Sro23, Drmies 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. Plus, they also sometimes block users over dumb little reasons and the victim user can never defend themselves for any wrongdoing.

#*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.

#If a user tries to report a corruptive admin for abusing their power or violating the policy, the staff will side with the corruptive admin without giving a second thought.

#America linking (linking nationalities to country pages) is common on a lot of pages (Even disambiguation pages), even though it is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's overlink rules. One controversial user named Tommi1986 even openly supports America Linking, despite the WP:OVERLINK page stating that nationalities shouldn't be overlinked.
