Wikipedia is a good resource, but whether they themselves want to editorialize is up to them. I personally think that the Wikipedias opinions of world events is NOT NOTABLE.

Maybe so, but the world often does treat Wikipedia as a reliable source. The editorialization ends up influencing them. This is why you see such heated battles on the talk pages of Wikipedia - there are people actively fighting to take control of this tool. Wikipedia’s founder has been warning the world about increasing bias on Wikipedia for several years now (https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/).
