Except you can’t. That stuff will often get reverted summarily. There are a group of abusive admins who will defend certain editors no matter how awful they are

- dalbasal 4y agoLook at the forest. Sure. It's an encyclopedia. It's heavily edited. Sometimes it's conflucted. There are cliques. Etc. But.. they produce an encyclopedia. It's actually free. It's transparent. It's very high quality. It's a working system. Whatever the fairness grievances people have with "censorship," on Wikipedia, they are nowhere near as bad as they are on any commery platform. Yet... whether it's Wikipedia's finances, moderation or anything... Wikipedia attract more need rage than any of them. Imo, this is the biggest barrier to freedom online. Freedom and transparency make people insanely critical and hostile.
