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

    People literally get paid to write and control US propaganda narrative on Wikipedia. Any organised efforts by leftists will be responded to by just throwing more money at it. So don’t expect miracles.

    But just like all liberal institutions Wikipedia has to upkeep its pretence of caring about facts which leftists can use in their favour in certain instances.
