Wikipedia Censors Any Mention of Eric Ciaramella Occurred on 9 Nov 2019

Wikipedia admins used their editorial power to censor any mention of the name “Eric Ciaramella” after it became widely publicized (initially by RealClearInvestigations) that he was the alleged Trump-Ukraine “whistleblower.” The methods of suppression included:

• blocking edits that attempted to add “Eric Ciaramella” to Wikipedia’s Whistleblower page and classifying them as “vandalism”
• blocking edits that attempted to add “Eric Ciaramella” to Wikipedia’s Trump-Ukraine controversy page and classifying them as: “grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material” and “serious [Biographies of Living Persons] vioations”
• blocking draft pages about Eric Ciarmella and classifying them as “attack pages”
• implementing a filter to further prevent future mentions of the alleged “whistleblower’s” name
• banning editors who challenged the above actions taken by admins
• threatening to ban editors who violated the above preventative measures

A former Wikipedia editor, who writes under the alias T.D. Adler, wrote a very thorough piece for Breitbart covering this censorship in which he highlighted how the Wikipedia admins even claimed there was a lack of “reliable” sources covering the story, despite that not being true:

Left-wing editors argued against including Ciaramella’s name over a lack of “reliable sources” mentioning it. Sources such as RealClearInvestigations and others were cited, but editors often dismiss conservative sources as “unreliable” on Wikipedia. […] However, sources considered reliable on Wikipedia, the Dallas Morning News and Ukrainian state-owned UNIAN, also reported the alleged whistleblower’s name.
