This Article has been mentioned by multiple media organizations:

Stephen Harrison (September 1, 2021). "Wikipedia Is Trying to Transcend the Limits of Human Language". Slate (magazine). Retrieved September 3, 2021. Wikipedia has 323 language editions, and at times, there are huge differences between them. For instance, Jasenovac was a concentration and extermination camp during World War II, which is described in detail on English Wikipedia. Hebrew Wikipedia, and other language versions. But according to Croatian Wikipedia, Jasenovac was merely a labor camp. [Note: this appears to refer to a previous (2020 or earlier) version of the Croatian Wikipedia. At the time of writing, the current version says that Jasenovac was a concentration camp and extermination camp.]
Margaret Talbot (March 4, 2025). "Elon Musk Also Has a Problem with Wikipedia". The New Yorker. Retrieved March 4, 2025. Articles valorized or whitewashed the Fascist puppet regime that ruled Croatia during the Second World War; whereas the English-language and other Wikipedia sites continued to correctly identify a place called Jasenovac as a concentration camp, the Croatian version adopted a more anodyne phrase: "collection and labor camp."
