What I find amazing is that some people are so dedicated to Wikipedia that they literally and consider vandals for how much information they put in.

That's what it should've been. In reality anything even remotely political on it is heavily biased towards imperial core and NATO countries, and against their geopolitical rivals.
This happens partly because most of these "nerds" are also westerners and rate their own outlets as more reliable, thus enforcing western propaganda.
You bring up an interesting point. There are opposing opinions on everything if you go deep enough into the topic, even in STEM fields too.
It'd be interesting to see a Wikipedia that provides pages on the same topic that present each opinion. So the base/overview page on the topic states the summaries of each opinion with a link for further reading. Each opinion page states there are many opinions on the topic and it just presents one. Each page then suggests for further reading, view the base/overview page where the user can read about other opinions on the topic.

The other day I used the term weaponized a*t*sm in a positive way, and I got site banned for a day for ableism.
I'm on the spectrum. I'm also the one that ended up going into weaponizrd detail in that thread.
Semi-related, only because if you used the title you actually wanted to, you probably would have been banned too.
Mods are weaponized.
