Wikipedia Most-Visited Websites Fakenews

Deepstate fakenews. Wikipedia article on most-visited websites, now only list usa websites, and removed the china ones and russia ones, yet claims the list is with respect to the world. Also, strangely, the article is locked from editing.

Today, was looking at Wikipedia article on most visited sites. I've been monitoring most visited sites in past 10 years.

Odd. Used to be, almost half of top sites are from china since about 2010. But now, none of that showed.

strangely, it list duckduckgo as second to amazon.

now, i dig into the edit history
here it is, wp, 2017 jan edition.

now, none of these shows.
yet, the Wikipedia claims it's world wide.

According to Wikipedia, its source is similarweb and semrush. Both are SEO sites, one is from israel. Both are very commercial. This is unlike Wikipedia practice. Usually it lists only open source ones.

similarweb ranks cnn higher than foxnews. funny.
