Interesting that you edited the Wikipedia page. I looked up editing on Wikipedia, and found "You do not have to log in to read Wikipedia. You do not even have to log in to edit articles on Wikipedia. Just about anyone can edit almost any article at any given time, even without logging in." So, I'm wondering how your (or anyone's) edit gets accepted and incorporated?

I think Wikipedia's How to Edit page could use some editing -- lots of words there, but doesn't seem to answer my questions easily.

Just for fun: Trump's Wikipedia page has been edited over 100 times in the last day:

And most of the 'editors' are 'non real' names... common enough, but...

I've edited several Wikipedia pages, and have even (once or twice) been involved in arguments over edits behind the scenes. That was before Wikipedia became a player in partisan politics in the last few years.
