SS recently
got a Wikipedia article from all the attention they've been getting. And wouldn't you know it, look at what's in the infobox:

That's right, direct links to the site. In contrast to the Kiwifarms article where apparently linking to us is deemed too great a threat to life to do. Despite the NYT claiming the site has killed more than 45 people (which is even reprinted in the article) while even the worst allegation against the farms is like 5 people or so. Also, lolcow
Taylor Lorenz is cited in the article:

The
talk page is worth a laugh:

Apparently someone debated about the value of using Lamarcus and Diego's real names in the article, citing "muh harassment". But apparently it's okay to include them if the full name is printed in media outlets. So basically, doxing is okay on Wikipedia as long as journoscum do it.
Also they have a weird wikipedo policy against using master's theses if they don't have a "significant scholarly influence" so the one by Elisa Sartori (that
@GenociderSyo found) simply can't be cited.
SS'ers are not happy about this:

I would agree with them, Wikipedia holds very strictly to the rule of "only reliable sources" (most of the time being journo outlets) and they literally have a rule against original research, so nobody is allowed to go to the site, see that they have a Recovery section, and report that they have a Recovery section, even when proving it with archives, links, screenshots, and everything. As far as I know, no coverage of the site, whether it be journos or other places on the Internet even mentions that they have a Recovery section except for the OP of this thread.
Speaking of which let's look at some of that coverage.

Needless to say Tantacrul's video has spread far and wide, whatever its faults.
