How the Far Right Took Over Croatian Wikipedia, & How They Were Stopped
11,596In 2013 the media noticed something was happening on Croatian Wikipedia, something that had been happening for a while. It took over a decade for the right-wing capture of Croatian Wikipedia to be stopped by the efforts of many Wikipedians over the course of a decade.
The bibliography is ordered in order of appearance (hopefully correct!) as opposed to by alphabetical order, that's because this video relies pretty much exclusively on articles and specific Wiki pages which makes it kinda hard to navigate if it's just ordered by usernames in my opinion, might not be the best way to do it but it's how I chose to do it.
