You mentioned I should bring this here:

I noted that when I first heard about pizzagate in late November, Wikipedia didn't have an entry for it. More recently an entry was created that forcefully called pizzagate a "conspiracy theory" instead of an investigation. Due to the "debunked" stories, the links there fit the Wikipedia rules for major news sources. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pizzagate_(conspiracy_theory)&offset=&limit=500&action=history

That feels like a clever way to censor: game the Wikipedia rule system for "major sources".

I want to add that several of the most notorious D.C. pedophiles do not have Wikipedia entries, and that strikes me as very odd. These include Ryan Loskarn and also Daniel Rosen, the latter of whom was Director of Counterterrorism in the State Department. Early in my own documenting of pizzagate, I had another name or two to add to this list, but I was just getting started in my research at the time and focused on big picture details.
