Exactly. If something is stated as a "fact" on wikipedia right now, it has been written or edited with some bias involved. A cool way to see how wikipedia used to look vs now: find a censored wiki page. click "version history" in the top right section of the page. there will be an option to view "pre-edits" or something like that, if not, click on one of the "edits" from pre-2016. Pick ANY sensitive topic and you'll find extreme edits. I've found wiki pages that have been torn down from 30+ pages long to less that 2. Once you get the hang of it, its almost like viewing two different histories. an EXTREMELY revealing search to start off with: "Saint Jerome" "Book of Jerome" as well as the paintings of saint jerome.
