Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory article

The first major conflict on Wikipedia that Elijahandskip started was the creation of the Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory article. On October 14, 2020, Elijahandskip began a discussion on Wikipedia's 'Conspiracy theories related to the Trump–Ukraine scandal' article about splitting the Hunter Biden report from the New York Post. On October 15, with no opposes to the split, Elijahandskip 'Split' the Hunter Biden incident into an article titled "Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory". After the move, all 'hell' broke loose. Multiple editors said Elijahandskip should never have moved the article in the first place. On October 16, Elijahandskip started a discussion that would end up lasting 30 days and be 25 pages long. The discussion was about "Discussing the term "False" in opening statement". The background of it was in the opening statement, the article said "The Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory is a series of false allegations". Conflict arose when the word 'false' was being removed, so the discussion attracted a lot of editors. The discussion ended up gaining so much attention that Breitbart News & Law Enforcement Today created articles about the entire incident. In the end, the term "false" stayed in the article's first sentence.
