I'm sorry, but I don't get what you're talking about. Can you please
specify which article you are trying to change and what you're trying
to do?

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia written by its users which strives
to be neutral. Of course, it's not going to happen overnight and
there's always going to be people who try to push in their views, but
that's not accepted by most people in the community of dedicated
users. "Wiki" was chosen for its sound and the idea that with a lot of
people chipping in you could get great articles "quickly" which is
essentially what wiki-wiki means.
