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.

Sur-fucking-prise.
Sur-fucking-prise lol
Wikipedia was founded by a self-admitted ancap who supported "israel's" bombing of Gaza in 2018, and its most prolific editor (edited an entire 1/3 of wikipedia articles) is a fascist. The vast majority of its editors are indeed westerners with an extreme pro-imperial core bias, particularly the US and UK.
Hell, the current CEO literally attended a US state department briefing in 2017 with a former CIA/NSA director and is currently on the advisory board for the CIA offshoot OTF.

Wawa NATO
Russian imperialism is the best recruiter NATO ever had.
Well uh, username checks out ig
tell me why do you wanna be ruled my an dictatorship
You are currently already living in a bourgeois dictatorship (getting to choose between two right-wing imperialists is not "democracy", whatever that means).
If you're in an imperial core country, this dictatorship prefers funding a genocide over meeting its own citizens' needs.
