Look closely at the OP's post. Churchill is listed, but they chose to hide his picture - when they had shown it for years and years before. Google had 10 "commanders" listed, and Churchill was the second one.
If you look today - you will see it is showing again - because they were called out. The wiki article was conveniently edited today (to add and change some language to make Churchill look worse) even though it is "semi-locked".
Many years ago, they used to have a fair number of honest people. You could see it on their "TALK" pages, where they debated various edits back and forth and made an effort to be as factual and source based as possible. Over time, those people were driven out.
I was an editor on Wiki back in 01, 02, 03 into 04 when college got to be too demanding. Some of the articles I originally authored bear zero resemblance when I check on them from time to time. I stopped editing in a time when it was more approachable. When I consider editing now it is clear that just the jargon regarding edits is a language to itself and a huge barrier. I've lost touch I suppose. But I never realized to the extent decent folks were being driven out. Sad.

I've been suspicious of wiki for some time now. Thanks for the info.
