Wikipedia coverage of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki


The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is being extensively covered on Wikipedia across many languages. This coverage extends to many articles about various aspects of the topic, as well as existing articles being amended to take account of the conflict's effect on them. Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects' coverage of the conflict – and how the volunteer editing community achieved that coverage – has received significant media and government attention.[1][2][3][4]

In Belarus, Russian Wikipedia editor Mark Bernstein was arrested and doxxed, meaning he had his personal identity revealed, because of editing and writing about the invasion.[5]
