=== Euro-Med Monitor’s WikiRights project ===
According to [[Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor|Euro-Med Monitor]], there was a “dominance of the official government-issued narrative” in Wikipedia articles and “an almost complete absence of the narrative of victims of violations in different regions”. Since 2015, Euro-Med Monitor has been training college students and recent graduates in conflict zones to make improvements to Wikipedia articles with the victim narratives from different conflict areas. The training includes workshops on techniques and evidence to modify Wikipedia articles written in Arabic and English. Project beneficiaries are informed of Wikipedia's standards and policies to safeguard appropriate use of the encyclopedia.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Monitor |first=Euro-Med Human Rights |title=- WIKI Rights |url=https://euromedmonitor.org/en/projects/5/WIKI-Rights |access-date=2024-06-27 |website=Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor |language=en-US}}</ref>
