It is petty? If you have a vested interest in cryptocurrency, in particular a cryptocurrency that you've got a lot of, and a vested interest in a different cryptocurrency not replacing yours, that gives someone real financial motive not to allow negative comments about the former, and to make it sound like the latter is on shakey ground and is just moments from collapse. I'd flex whatever Wikipedia editor privileges I had if significant portions of my net worth was tied up in Ethereum and not Solana. Greedy sure, but not petty, not when huge amounts of money are on the line.

It would be petty.
Your example would be greedy and petty, and a couple other words.
It felt petty that adults who've spent over a decade editing such a vast source of information could end up devoting a chunk of their unpaid labour time to such petty edit wars.
I didn't know that there's so many edit wars, speaks to the vastness of Wikipedia.
