Um, maybe.

I once contributed to the Kerry section. I included references. Every change I made was deleted. A snide comment was left indicating that one of the referees (or whatever you call them) believed that my main reference didn't exist (a check of Amazon would have corrected that). After complaining by email, I was (very politely) informed that I had to document each change much more directly (not an unreasonable requirement for many of the changes). Other activities intervened and I never had a chance.

Just now I decided to look up that controversial subject again, since as a Vietnam veteran activist (and webmaster) in a sister 527 (Vietnam Vets for the Truth), I know the subject well. Wikipedia's main John Kerry page is here. The reporting on Kerry's military and anti-war activities is almost like reading his campaign literature or the Boston Globe (well, the Globe actually had *more* negative information). Likewise, the section on the related controversy is strongly biased in his favor. There is either selection or moderation bias in this case. That there is so much contradictory evidence to the Wikipedia entry, easily available, that it is suspicious that none of it made it into Wikipedia. I would expect that other conservatives or those with access to contradictory information (i.e. know how to use a library) have run into the same experience. Some of the pages are locked - indicating an unsettled controversy.

There are many factual errors, and also a tone indicating a pro-Kerry's viewpoint, even though Wikipedia is official anti-POV. Worse, many facts are missing (such as the discharge controversy, dates of service controversy, the request for and Kerry's refusal to release all of his military records to the public, the first purple heart controversy and first person testimony, the meetings of Kerry with enemy representatives, the fact that he was a reserve Navy officer during his entire anti-war years, and many more).

Read John Kerry's entry then read George Bush's. The contrast is striking. Every negative rumor about Bush is published. Negative eyewitness testimony to Kerry's behavior is left out.
