I think one of the arguments is this isn’t an individual but a group or agency with an agenda and resources to bend Wikipedia to a specific narrative.

- burfog 8y agoA group is made of individuals. They would normally have one account per person. Multiple accounts per person is more likely than multiple people per account. Bending wikipedia has been going on for ages, not even counting the paid editing that you seem to presume. The famous example, where Jimmy Wales had to step in, was pedophiles putting a positive spin on their sort of activity. A much tamer example is feral cats; the article minimizes any harm (wildlife loss, contamination, etc.) due to the people obsessed with the subject matter. Most controversial subjects on wikipedia get a positive spin. It's simply a matter of who is most obsessed with the subject matter.
