The language around Wikipedia is so depoliticised that many commentators are now confused as to what are the core values of the project (build a collaborative encyclopedia for everybody) and what are means to that end (tone neutrality in the articles).
This is how you end up with the utterly nonsensical notion of a "politically neutral encyclopedia", which Wikipedia never tried or wanted to be: it is every bit as politically militant as the GNU project is.
