It is important that people outside of Wikipedia know that there is longer term adgenda-based editing on wikipiedia. There is tons of this and it is very ingrained into Wikipedia that many pages have defacto owners who enforce specific povs. There will always be a pov, it is unavoidable, but it is important to understand on Wikipedia pov is enforcible by self-selected consensus even if it is not right objectively.
This is most obvious on politically charged topics in which there is a self interested party protecting "their" POV articles. In a way groups of editors claim articles like land in an ideological war. If you read one article events have a certain portrayal but other articles beyond the established front have a different portrayal.
