The US edits information on Wikipedia to serve its narrative all the time, just through quiet back channels. Western media wouldn't report on it even if it were done super obviously. It's rumored that one of the most prolific Wikipedia editors is really British Intelligence. You can also trace the IPs doing edits to places like the CIA.

It's called contribution, and everybody does that. All parties, NGOs, institutions (etc) do it. That's how wikipedia works, with radical transparency to expose those conflicts of interests which exist in any paper/encyclopedia but are usually hidden.
