Political editing on Wikipedia comprises the addition, promotion, or maintenance of content on Wikipedia that is meant to advance a political ideology, viewpoint, or state position by people with an external relationship to the subject. It can be seen as a type of conflict-of-interest editing. The Wikipedia community utilizes various tools and policies to detect and remove such content, but whether they would be effective against a state actor has been called into question.
