Manipulation and misinformation on Wikipedia have been happening for many years (based on my personal experience trying to correct facts). I'm not referencing politics per se, though political views certainly impact Wikipedia since source material, these days, often has a political bias. I'm talking about business facts that get manipulated for that business's benefits.

How does that saying go? If you can't identify the mark in the room, you're the mark. Diligence and a good amount of skepticism serve you well before AI, and certainly post-AI.

The Wiki has been a highly contested political/propaganda ground since its inception. My personal opinion is that it pretty much has endured just because the generation that formed the community back then was probably less susceptible to bias manipulation through social channels, because they didn't exist to this extent.

A famous case is the CAMERA's takeover of key administrator positions in Wikipedia back in 2008, but in local communities it went probably unnoticed.
