Good luck with that. Their system is utterly rigged. First you need a citation. Because it's a controversial "fringe" topic you'll need multiple citations from "reliable" sources (corporate mainstream media, not counting RT, Al Jazeera, etc etc etc) - and not independent "fringe" sources. And it doesn't end there...

To be fair to them, they're trying to create an encyclopedia. It's only going to be accurate on stuff from hundreds of years ago, or completely apolitical topics, because of all the propaganda.

However, I think you should try to add in a "controversy" section. Try to write it as neutrally as possible, and keep it under 2 paragraphs with a short quotation, and source everything. So long as you keep your sources away from "Conspiracist sites such as Infowars.com."[1], you should be fine. That includes thetruthseeker.co.uk and stuff like that, which I've personally noticed to be frequently unreliable! But I'm certain you'll be able to find decent sources on this topic, if you look past the clickbaity pseudo-Truther sites on the first few pages of search results…

BULLSHIT

I didn't try to correct 9/11 or even the 9/11 conspiracies article (both terribly inaccurate) but I was trying to correct obvious mistakes on the 9/11 Truth Movement and that shit is locked down and guarded by Nazis.

As I stated I tried to add "allegedly" and they gave me shit about it.

You try if you think you can.

Controversy and alternative perspectives are forbidden.

Na man. I've been there. I got banned for a YEAR for being "another polite truther."

Wow. Appeal, maybe? Easiest way for a policy change.

Try making a more substantial (REALLY neutral) contribution, instead of such a little one.

Good luck.

Oh, it's not the sort of article I'd edit for accuracy; I don't know enough about it.
