John Stossel offers disheartening observations on the fall of once-promising Wikipedia. The site is permeated with censorship. On any controversial topic, you can depend on Wikipedia to present you with a false consensus.
Stossel: “I once reported how great Wikipedia is. But now, it’s manipulated by leftists. That’s a big problem because its bad information corrupts AI and search results.” Click on the graphic below for Stossel’s video report:

Neutral Point of View [3], by Ashley Rindsberg: [4]
Readers of NPOV know that I’ve previously described Wikipedia as a “methane fire [5]” — a flame that burns invisibly. WMF, in deploying its “most trusted source of information online” message, has blinded itself to reality: people are losing trust, and generally for good reason.
A recent article by Rindsberg r [6]eports: “WMF recently discovered that Wikipedia has seen an 8% decrease in traffic. Despite its 400-strong workforce of engineers and product specialists, WMF had no idea this was going on until it stumbled on the data during a bot purge.”
