Wikipedia will reflect its editors' interests, no question.  I don't really
accept that analysis, though.  A million-dollar turnover manufacturing
business is still family-sized, actually.  What is more, a million dollars
in one bank account looks much like a million dollars in another.  It is the
price of a very ordinary house in London, for example.
