Since I happen to be a U. S. citizen who believes that the USA almost certainly did back the coup against Allende, and since I have been utterly uninvolved in any articles about that subject, I decided to see whether there really is a problem with Wikipedia's coverage of the topic. I typed in "Allende," it redirected to "Salvador Allende," and under "The coup" I read:

It's one of the interesting aspects of Wikipedia that conflicts on wordings often are focused to one or a few articles at a time. One must guess that in the long run the articles on [[Augusto Pinochet]] and [[1973 Chilean Coup]] would be put in harmony with the article on [[Salvador Allende]]; but the fierce reversion wars (and actually also fierce debate at [[Talk:Augusto Pinochet]], which is a good sign after all) makes me wonder whether the article on Salvador Allende is next in turn to be "sanitized".
Libertarian, why do you suggest that the admins are "not allowing the point" to be made? It seems to me that the point_is_ being made.
I think administrators' role is exaggerated by Libertarian. But we have to be aware of Wikipedia's inherent US-centricism, and how this may be a serious disadvantage for Wikipedia's credibility outside of the Anglo-Saxon world.
