That being said…. controversial articles have been a thorn in the side of WP for some time now. For non-controversial stuff, WP is fine.
Those with agendas infest the non-controversial stuff too. The Norton Motorcycles entry had, under trivia, something about Che Guevera riding a Norton that was the basis of the Motorcycle Diaries film. He was described as “socialist revolutionary”. Every time I added the words “and mass murderer”, with a proper citation to a publication that met Wiki standards for sources, my edit was removed.
One administrator banned me with the vague charge “user hates Wikipedia” and to get your account restored they basically want you to admit what you did that they think was wrong. It reminded me of a show trial under Stalin. As the appeals process went on, it was clear that though I was abiding by their silly process, and following the exact procedure specified, they had a problem with my attitude. Finally, without having to eat too much shit (cf. e.e. cummings) I pretty much forced them to follow their own rules and reinstate me.
To give you an idea of what mind-control freaks they are, as part of the appeals process you are recommended to suggest ways that you can contribute. When I said that I was personally researching the subject of how Jewish automotive pioneers had literally been written out of history by the Nazi regime, that was said to ‘raise a red flag because of Godwin’.
