Yes, but there are Mods who ultimately have the last say. The articles, especially controversial ones, usually end up edited and redacted by these guys who base off their stuff on USA propaganda and shitty sources (they are on the imperial core, after all), and you can get banned or stop being able to edit if you push on. Of course, not all articles are like that and it's an ongoing battle. I think there was a good documentary on this but I can't seem to find it. There's also the fact that—and here I can only speak for Spanish wikipedia—English sources and the English articles end up translated (and badly) to other languages, and they also carry the Western-English point of view with them.
