This is why Wikipedia needs our support.
Bad news, Wikipedia is no better when it comes to economic or political articles.
The fact that ADL is on Wikipedia's "credible sources" page is all the proof you need.
See Who's Editing Wikipedia - Diebold, the CIA, a Campaign
Incidentally, the "WikiScanner" software that Virgil Griffin (a close friend of Aaron Swartz, incidentally) developed to chase down bulk Wiki edits has been decommissioned and the site shut down. Virgil is currently serving out a 63 month sentence for the crime of traveling to North Korea to attend a tech summit.
Read into that what you will.
Anther massive piece of evidence is the fact that Wikipedia is lying about about the 6 day war
Six Day War Wikipedia:
The word pre-emptive is snuck in there as factual while in reality being either a complete lie, or highly controversial as all major US intelligence sources confirmed that Egypt had no interest in war before israel attacked.
This was not a defensive war, it was an attack by israel. Yet Wikipedia frames it as brave Zionists "defending themselves" into Egypt.
Wikipedia has more than enough money. It still needs support and protecting, but the servers have sufficient funding for the foreseeable future.
Let's just hope they don't do a reddit and waste that excess of funding on exorbitant pay for executives, who then undermine the core principles that created that income. Jimmy Wales isn't likely to do that, he already made enough money in softcore porn during the early days of the internet (which he then used to start Wikipedia).
