I don't mind articles being policed edited with propaganda so much. What I do mind, is talk pages being policed and edited. This is new! It used to be the case that if you visited a controversial article that didnt quite pass the "sniff test", you could then go to its talk pages and witness all the controversy laid bare, and make up your own mind on something. Now there's some very inventive archiving and cleaning up and even censoring of people's comments in place, it feels like people getting "disappeared".
