Frequently asked questions
Q1: Why does this article describe Project Veritas negatively?
A1: Wikipedia's aim is not to ensure articles are neither overtly positive or negative, but to ensure articles are written based on what reliable sources say; the neutral point of view policy defines neutrality as representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic. This means that if many reliable sources have a negative opinion of a subject, the article will most likely be negative. Since most reliable sources describe Project Veritas negatively, this article also describes Project Veritas negatively. Q2: Why does this article say that Project Veritas is far-right?
A2: The "far-right" descriptor is amply and reliably sourced. Over a dozen independent and reliable sources describe Project Veritas as a far-right organization. Please see these references for details. Q3: Why does this article say that Project Veritas is an "activist group"?
A3: The "activist" descriptor is based on many multiple independent and reliable sources. These sources describe Project Veritas as an activist organization or a group of activists. Please see these references for details. Q4: Why does this article say that Project Veritas edited videos "deceptively"?
A4: The "deceptive" phrasing is cited to many multiple high-quality reliable sources. More than a dozen independent and reliable sources describe Project Veritas editing its videos in a "deceptive", "misleading", or "manipulative" manner. Please see these references for details. Q5: But what if the sources are biased?
A5: Reliable sources are, according to Wikipedia:Reliable sources § Biased or opinionated sources, not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective. If you have reliable sources that express contrary points of view or refute any statements in this article, please feel free to discuss them here. If you are unsure if a source is reliable, you can check to see if it is listed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources § Sources or search the archives of Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard to see if its reliability has been discussed in the past. Q6: Shouldn't this article avoid using as sources media outlets against which Project Veritas has published exposés?
A6: Some editors have made the argument that, because Project Veritas has targeted various news outlets (such as The Washington Post, CNN, and NPR) in its operations, those news outlets should be considered unreliable with respect to Project Veritas due to conflict of interest. A 2020 discussion at Wikipedia talk:Verifiability found that disqualification of sources based on alleged conflicts of interest such as this did not have community consensus. |

This article is grossly biased and incorporates blatant lies. Stop preventing discourse and write/edit articles based on verifiable facts instead of preferred biased narratives. NPR itself doesn't allege a "deceptively edited video" was the cause for it's CEO resigning. It simply notes a "sting" which is a recording where the recipient wasn't aware. There is no falsity to the recording other than the biased editors wanting the truth to be different. Simply put, the overwhelming Liberal bias of the writers and editers of this page have made Wikepedia, including this article, blatantly false propoganda. I know you won't change the article to respresent the actual facts, but we both know you're deliberately lying, hence the need to lock the article from editing to prevent your deliberate distortion of the truth from being the only version available.
Your above excuses to continue to lie while sourcing lying "independent" sources notwithstanding, we both know you're lying.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please detail the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. LizardJr8 (talk) 04:05, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
