TLDR: allegations of off-Wikipedia canvassing connected to his proposed WikiProject Intellectual Diversity, after he posted it to his 90k followers on X, and gave an interview to a CNN podcast encouraging millions Hindu-nationalists to edit Wikipedia.
Sanger has been part of a wider conservative campaign against Wikipedia for the last decade.

Frankly, I’m still vaguely surprised he wasn’t summarily blocked in 2010 when he falsely accused Wikimedia, to the FBI, of hosting CSAM. He’s been outright an opponent of Wikipedia since at latest 2006 or so (upon launching now-all-but-moribund Citizendium as a “competitor”). I understand how it was not necessary nor would have been seemly to have blocked him then, but it was obvious enough then that he had no further intention to contribute to the Wikipedia project in good faith, and that’s the same basic premise behind most blocks applied to vandals.
