Even if they didn't, Wikipedia is generally really bad at history or politics. A lot of the editors are very prolific maths/physics people who read a book and then decide to add some silly factoid to a page, and nobody ever checks the sources to validate. Or worse, they'll use "journalistic" websites like Live Science as sources or no citations at all. Meanwhile the maths sections are just fantastic.

For example, a while back the 1905 revolution had as leaders only "Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin" and there's hardly any mention of the general strike that led to it. Stalin single-handedly commandeered the Potemkin with his big spoon I guess.
