Hi, interesting, yes. Wikipedia was lucky that the research was done by academic Wikipedia outsiders , and Americans, who only researched a very limited topic about US - Democratic Party keywords...

I have been noticing for long in religious topics that there are heaps of partisan articles just telling legends in a factual language. Just look at topics concerning Ismailis (Pir_Sadardin), Hindu saints (Sakkiya_Nayanar ), (Bhagat_Puran_Singh), Islamic mystics or a number of catholic saints. I assume that the same mechanism works also on other topics: wherever there is a tradition of thought, not well known to outsiders or of little interest outside a community, there is less probability of critical reflection ad edits from outside.

Which I would not expect to happen in Britannica to that extent. Cheers! Kipala
