While Wikipedia is considered a source of truth, is it a moderated source of whatever those in power allow to be written there.

Definitely true. Wikipedia has sensitivities reflecting their most dedicated (& extremely online) administrators. Alert & keen for some topics while inert & hostile to others.

I use their bias sometimes for detection. For example, the GP here advances a melodramatic allegation, which someone from their Wikipedian tribe would certainly have documented-- if the evidence aligned with their bias.
