|title = How Wikipedia Erases Indigenous History

|quote = Wikipedia’s page on Jefferson, himself an architect of Indian Removal, draws on outdated scholarship from the 1970s to argue that Jefferson wanted what “was best for American Indians.” One sentence alludes to recent scholarship arguing that Jefferson removed Native peoples to gain land. During a discussion about Jefferson’s role in removal, the editor responsible for almost a quarter of the pages for Washington, Jefferson, and Ulysses S. Grant made false, racist claims, writing, “We certainly don’t want to connotate any negativity towards Jefferson, do we? Okay, we can mention that many tribes were war like, xenophobic, refused to assimilate and that for everyone’s own good and general welfare it was deemed best to keep the two diametrically opposed cultures in separate parts of the country.”

|quote2 = Thomas Jefferson’s page reads similarly. The ‘Native American Affairs’ section cites Wikipedia to state that Jefferson ‘refuted the contemporary notion that Indians were inferior people and maintained that they were equal in body and mind to people of European descent.’
