You can notice a bias towards the state media from pro-capitalist regimes from the above.

You know you can make a page yourself right?
Go ahead and compile a list with sources referenced and write it up according to the style guide.
I don't think OP is concerned about the existence of one particular article, but rather the various systemic biases in what Wikipedia chooses to include or exclude.
"You know you can do this thing yourself right?"
"No you are using biased language and have to use exclusively sources which are known to repeat CIA imperialist propaganda like the Hamas rape hoax on demand."
Yeah articles that show capitalist and imperialists in a bad light don’t exist.

The sources referenced there should be a great start for writing the suggested article. Have at it.
which ones explicitly state that they were caused by capitalism like the point OP was making?
The suggestion was that OP could simply make an article and reference works that make a strong case for that claim.
It doesn’t appear to be difficult especially in relation to colonialism.
Now if Wikipedia rejected a well researched, fairly written and referenced article, this would be a different discussion.
the claim is that wikipedia is biased against communism and dedicates a 1/4 of its existence to clearly displaying it:
none of yours do
No it wouldn't, it would be exactly the same because you would ignore that Wikipedia deleted it. And we know this because that is exactly what happened
People have done this repeatedly and been nuked every time. It's extremely fucking telling that all the Wikipedia true believers have clearly never actually looked into the process themselves
That would be because you're supposed to contribute articles to the repository before you're allowed to just go scribbling on the walls. Authorarian and draconian, I know. A system likely devised by the CIA to oppress white people who never go outside
Yeah there's always some post hoc justification for it
Life's hard when I have to have the bare minimum of rigor before vandalizing public works
Lol. Calm down. Creating a Wikipedia page is not "vandalizing public works"
You're right. It's the requirement be granted editing privileges. Try to keep up. Or go read the rules before you whine. Or just stop playing dumb
I don't even know what convention you think you're part of
There's probably going to be a lot of that in your future. Everyone else is already used to.... you

You occupy the very specific cross section of Dunning-Kreuger represented by European tech liberals
That's not what you think it is but I'm touched that you would chime in
See, right there
True. Would be good to try that and see how it is handled
Asking for the help of others who may see this: Could you help in listing major mass killings by capitalist states?
Will mention ones that I can remember now:
USAmerican regime - Kent State Uni massacre, MOVE bombing, BLM protestors murdered for protesting against the racist regime
British colonial regime in India - Jalianwallah Bagh massacre, Wagon massacre, Massacre of tribes in hilly states
If famines are included, then the Bengal famine, Madras famine, Travancore famine etc.
Mass killings in areas like Ireland n all by the British capitalist regime too
South Korean regime - Jeju island, Bodo league massacres and similar mass killings
Mass killings by Nazi Germany
