If you want to edit wikipedia, you need to know and play their game.

Politically charged topics on wikipedia need multiple reliable sources.

I can’t find any sources, that would pass as reputable on wikipedia, on this guy.

Maybe if there was a script from Senate from Rand Paul, who spoke his name publicly, that could be used. New York Post is the only kind-of-reputable source I can find, I don’t think that’s enough for now

edit: people link Conservapedia etc, but you can quickly see the stuff is full of misinformation. The like to point out, as Rand did, that Schiff daughter was in some relationship with the CIA guy. This is provably false.

Maybe the Wikipedia rule on sources is actually good.



People who authored pages about him get banned, a couple got life bans. This is almost certainly censorship, not some extensive source verification. There also seems to be a media blackout on the topic.
