Of course highly politicised articles will be controversial and a lot of time will be spent moderating it, but I have to be honest, I don't actually use Wikipedia that often to look at current events. For me, Wikipedia is at it's best when describing factual, settled data in a neutral point of view. I don't believe that such a thing is possible with current events, even though Wikipedia editors do seem to strive for it.<p>I'd much rather these resources be aimed at refining the articles that are objective and settled, rather a political back and forth. I love the /r/AskHistorians 20 year rule, which serves them really well.
