A request that this article title be changed to Wikipedia and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is under discussion. Please do not move this article until the discussion is closed. |
The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is being extensively covered on Wikipedia across many languages.[1] 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.[1] 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.[2][3][4][5]
In Belarus, Russian Wikipedia editor Mark Bernstein was arrested after having been doxxed, meaning he had his personal identity revealed, because of editing and writing about the invasion.[6][7]
