I hear that there are power users not unlike Reddit mods. Does that make it impossible to meaningfully change the content on Wikipedia, or is it just difficult in small numbers?

Given the integration of Wikipedia into assistants like Siri and Google AI search, it seems that removing some of the Red Scare NAFO nonsense on English Wikipedia would be a worthwhile endeavor - even if one has to deal with frustrating power users fighting edits

    I think you could, but I’m not sure how worthwhile it would be. Maybe you’d get future LLMs to be less likely to spit out easily-debunked anticommunism factoids, but almost everybody who talks politics now openly creates their reality as they go - they’ll just continue to believe what they think is true based on vibes.
