Wikipedia is hilariously unreliable, and the people who defend it because “muh checks and balances” are fools.
There are so many articles that go “well, all known evidence points to the US government doing this, but they say they didn’t, and they definitely NEVER lie, so really it’s up in the air”
Or when they voted to ban Telesur because “The State Dept. said they’re ebil commies, all hail the State Dept.”
The levels of liberalism in that voting thread are incredible “ebil tankies claiming we’re biased since BBC is also state-funded, but don’t you dumb gommies know that checks and balances freedom 100??”
I can’t be 100% sure, but I remember seeing a video or an article about a fash guy somewhere in the West who only sits there and writes tons of Wikipedia articles, using Muricah sources and shutting down everyone who opposes it using his moderation powahs. Something led me to believe this shit is systematic too. Maybe someone can find that? Because I can’t remember in a lifetime where I saw it.
I’m almost 100% certain US alphabet agencies have some ghoul farm cranking out pro regime articles and reversing any edit that attempts to explore any nuance beyond USA #1
