The Signpost, the main community newsletter on Wikipedia, noted a recent Tablet Magazine article by journalist Ashley Rindsberg in its “In the media” section. Reporting how Wikipedia smeared Zionism, Rindsberg’s piece noted previously-reported names of two prominent pro-Palestinian editors involved. A member of Wikipedia’s Arbitration Committee, often likened to a Supreme Court, removed the report with public site records of it deleted. A former Committee member claimed violations of the site’s doxing policy.

On Wikipedia, Tablet Magazine has been the subject of several discussions agreeing it was a reliable source with one of the identified editors even supporting its use in a prior case. The names of both pro-Palestinian editors were previously reported in 2019 by the Washington Free Beacon, which has been deemed reliable on Wikipedia, with one named in other news reports. Breitbart’s own reporting criticizing Wikipedia has previously been censored when noted in the Signpost.

Writers for the Signpost, consisting of regular editors, report on issues of interest to the site’s community, including media coverage of Wikipedia. Such coverage is typically noted in the newsletter’s “In the media” section. Archives of the newsletter show a section regarding Rindsberg’s Tablet article giving a brief summary of its contents and noting follow-up coverage in the National Review, which links to Rindsberg’s piece. National Review is treated as a questionable source on Wikipedia due to no consensus about its reliability with editors encouraged to attribute its claims to the outlet instead of using it for factual claims.

Rindsberg’s Wikipedia criticism

Rindsberg’s piece titled “Wiki Wars” was published in Tablet Magazine on September 3, 2025. In the piece, Rindsberg noted the recent announcement by Republicans on the House Oversight Committee that they were conducting an investigation into the site’s bias, particularly focused on the involvement of foreign actors in articles about wars in Gaza and Ukraine.
