Yvette Alt Miller (March 19, 2023). "Wikipedia Editors Deliberately Distorted Holocaust Articles". Aish HaTorah. Retrieved March 19, 2023. Wikipedia itself stepped in. In an unprecedented move, the website's Arbitration Committee, known internally as ArbCom, has initiated an internal review; they've announced their intention to publish their findings within weeks.

As of now, the tribunal is collecting hundreds upon hundreds of page edits known as diffs, digital evidence from more than a decade's worth of bitter back-and-forth changes. ArbCom's final decision on the case is scheduled for May 11, but those who are looking for Wikipedia's highest court to issue a ruling on the historical truth might want to temper their expectations.

In keeping with Wikipedia's accountability framework and to the dismay of the study's authors, the committee didn't take a position on the underlying dispute over Polish antisemitism and complicity with the Nazis. The committee instead concluded that then editors did not adhere to the community's code of conduct.
Shira Klein (June 14, 2023). "The shocking truth about Wikipedia's Holocaust disinformation". The Forward. Retrieved June 16, 2023.

While this may seem promising, in fact, ArbCom's actions should concern anyone who cares about disinformation.
Shuichi Tezuka (December 11, 2023). "Introducing Justapedia". Quillette. Retrieved December 11, 2023. Usually, the Wikipedia community's reaction to published criticism of the site is to dismiss it, but that is not what occurred in this case.
