This happens on every article related to these type of people. There is a clique of editors and administrators who go out of their way to keep any such uncomfortable information off Wikipedia, and maintain bias towards their cause on various pages, particularly on those of people critical of their activist movement.

You can see similar on HN, with comments and stories most often being flagged to oblivion if they say anything against this activism and the people involved. I'm even being oblique with my words now because they search for comments that don't toe the line. This comment will probably get flagged too.
