I agree, I didn’t think this page was really edited though? Looks like a joke to me, though I didn’t check the Wikipedia

yeah it’s not clear in the log, but the page is now protected against vandalism, something must have happened

i get the appeal, but it only creates more work for volunteers who maintain it, in a climate of fact denial and blatant attacks on that very platform by powerful people, governments and organizations.
