Wikipedia editors in hot water over controversial Sambhaji Maharaj content

The Maharashtra Cyber Cell has filed a case against at least four Wikipedia editors for failing to remove allegedly objectionable content about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj from the open-source encyclopedia, reported PTI citing officials.

The nodal agency had earlier sent a notice to the California-based Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts Wikipedia, requesting the removal of the disputed content. The Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organisation, manages the popular platform that allows user-generated content.
