#*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.

#*Another innocent user named Balázs6 being blocked, leading him to '''attempt suicide''' but thankfully, he survived the attempt.

#*Another user by the name of SHADDAI WRIGHT, was treated so poorly that he created a [https://www.change.org/p/wikipedia-make-massive-changes-to-wikipedia petition] on Change.org to stop admins for abusing their power.

#*Additionally, a former user by the name of Geoffrey Liu, was also treated so poorly that he created a [https://g-liu.com/blog/2009/08/why-i-really-hate-wikipedia-administrators/ blog] page exposing the admins and their corruptive behavior.

#In a [https://unherd.com/newsroom/wikipedia-co-founder-i-no-longer-trust-the-website-i-created/ December 2021 interview], the co-creator of Wikipedia, Larry Sanger, has stated that he no longer trusts the site he created anymore.

#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.

#*In the infancy of Wikipedia, nearly all pages had America links. This is justified, however, because it was allowed before 2014.
