I think they should. Wikipedia deserves to be based out of a country that supports the free flow of information. that is not the US.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

What if it was the Church of Wikipedia?
Sure, I will join and I will go to that church every Sunday, unless there is a game on.
Nineteen Eighty Four was a good year, although I was only a toddler then. The year after that is when Super Mario Brothers came out. Super Mario Brothers is a fun game. So many people love this game. Mario and Luigi are both great to play. Most people end up playing Mario. How many people want to play Luigi nowadays? Mario is fun, but we should remember Luigi too.
This is bad. They’re trying to rewrite history based on what racist and sexist morons feel is true
That seems stupid and I don’t even mean in a public policy way. It’s stupid in that way too but I mean individuals, companies, and maybe even a few governments are willing to take a bullet for Wikipedia. There’s people who wear cloaks and call other people “Mere Mortal” who are passionate about Wikipedia.
If they go ahead and actually succeed, the only thing that'll happen is that they'll just move to a different country.
Only to rearm and write down their heroic tales. They’ll be back.
Here, truth is the enemy.
