My whole experience of seeing articles raided by Azeri and Turkish users in English-language Wikipedia, and the way discussions there go, says that they didn’t avoid it. Well, maybe only the specific case of German NSDAP fans. Not the phenomenon as a whole.
And also “Wikipedia” includes its non-English spins, there are two things about them - 1) each one is different and has different problems in general, 2) various kinds of evil are well represented.
If we remove ourselves from the Nazi\Turanist\tankie\flatearther\etc problem, I’ve also seen harmless geeky articles about software etc removed because of being “too niche” or something (sometimes, but not always, presented as lack of good sources, because of course these would be underrepresented in what that ignorant fuck of a moderator would consider a good source), so there’s an “aggressive normie” problem too.
