Hey, if you want another example of things going wrong with Wikipedia, here's an interesting one: https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/ucxaey/the_thirisadai_an_ahistorical_age_of_empires_ii/ The article is a reddit post on the Bad History subreddit. A certain type of ship was added to Age of Empires II along with several new indian civilizations. The author of the article was intrigued because he couldn't find where the hell the game was basing this thing and he found a Wikipedia article on the Chola navy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chola_Navy#Vessels_and_weapons). Turns out, the section of this article naming the ship, written in 2008, is an absolute fabrication that has survived multiple revisions because it managed to add sources for its claims, sources that not only don't support what's on Wikipedia, but directly contradict it. One source even seems to be a total fabrication. Maybe give it a read, it's an interesting cautionary tale on the flaws of Wikipedia.

I would like to see your take on Yugoslavia: especially the Serbian-Bosnian War and Milosevic's legacy in general, which I imagine, like in many other cases in history, has always been portrayed from an anticommunist perspective
