Wikipediocracy is a Misplaced Pages criticism site. Their members have identified several serious problems within Misplaced Pages. One of these was revealing the likely editor responsible for a hoax article on the notional "Bicholim conflict" which lasted five years before being challenged. Most recently, Wikipediocracy members were responsible for helping Salon.com reporter Andrew Leonard to expose Misplaced Pages "revenge editor" Qworty as writer Robert Clark Young. Some members of the site assist journalists with reporting on such issues.
