Does anyone know why this is happening? I just assumed Reddit, Youtube, Stackoverflow, etc were doing it because they were being paid by the DNC or various political action groups. But Wikipedia is a non-profit with a good chunk of money in reserve.

Lots of people try to eidt Wikipedia and are driven away by arseholes, and this is a problem that Wikipedia has been trying to fix for years.

Things came to a head last year when a prominent editor was harassing users for years and the English wikipedia failed to address it. It came to the attention of Wikimedia foundation who took action against the editor, and that caused a storm.

Personally I think they need to do a lot more than a CoC, especially if it's going to be applied by Wikipedia.
