Wikpedia can write what it likes; to my eye that's empty prose.

You are supposed to attempt convincing the reader that "your eye" has public merit, credentials, arguments.

I'm not convinced Wikipedia has that either. Some things it gets factually correct, granted. The subjectivity that is selected by wikipedia editors to characterize, is always in question.

So provide something more convincing, not in question, and not subjective. Same problem as your parent comment.

Wikipedia is nice because it is mostly inter-subjective - there are always multiple authors monitoring its state to come to a consensus.
