You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

    Yeah articles that show capitalist and imperialists in a bad light don’t exist.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_massacre

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrocities_in_the_Congo_Free_State

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju_Uprising

    The sources referenced there should be a great start for writing the suggested article. Have at it.

      which ones explicitly state that they were caused by capitalism like the point OP was making?

        The suggestion was that OP could simply make an article and reference works that make a strong case for that claim.

        It doesn’t appear to be difficult especially in relation to colonialism.

        Now if Wikipedia rejected a well researched, fairly written and referenced article, this would be a different discussion.

          the claim is that wikipedia is biased against communism and dedicates a 1/4 of its existence to clearly displaying it:

          communism

          none of yours do

          No it wouldn’t, it would be exactly the same because you would ignore that Wikipedia deleted it. And we know this because that is exactly what happened
