#*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.

#*Drmies is 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.

#**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.

#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).

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

#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.

#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 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.
