In the Italian wiki there were fascists literally rewriting history to fit their narrative, it probably happens in all the other wikis as well.
Jimmy Wales obsessively vandalises leftist and anti-war articles with his "Philip Cross" account, and whenever someone confronts him on Twitter over it he gives a smug dismissive response.

The owner is a liberal and most of the senior editors are too. Anti-socialist rhetoric anywhere remotely related to socialism, even obsure pages about military tech are crammed with 'soviet oppression' anecdotes that have either no citations or joke citations. However because he's a typical twat who can't be bothered to learn other languages, russian speaking wiki pages are generally the opposite and usually far more informative than english ones. For example the battle of Brest fortress. The English wiki plays it off as a minor skirmish where the 'nazi supersoldiers' cornered soviet soldiers who were being forced to fight at gun-point… y'know the same old Enemy at the Gates crap.
Meanwhile the Russian wiki page presents it as it was, a major siege that only fully ended after a full month of bloody resistance.
