IMO good Wikipedia articles have a few sentences in a short paragraph in the top and only get into the details later in dedicated chapters.
Also, I'd really love to see make the Wikipedia article make clear that it is almost synonymous with Bitcoin itself - but I guess that wouldn't be actually true...

At least it doesn't say Lightning is a blockchain (like this article does: https://cointelegraph.com/blockchain-for-beginners/a-beginners-guide-on-blockchain-layer-2-scaling-solutions oof cringe)

This is actually a good point - there is a lot of bullshit content on Wikipedia related to Bitcoin. For example the 2nd paragraph on Bitcoin says:
"Bitcoin has been described as an economic bubble by at least eight Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences recipients.[12]"
We can do better

Not on Wikipedia. It is being patrolled by people from the status quo. They work very hard to shape the articles in ways that fit them without outright lying :) in other words it's highly political
For example Wikipedia makes it seem as if scalability is a problem bitcoin only has, which 5 years ago could have been excused, but after solana failures and extreme fees on eth, nobody can make this lie anymore. But that don't stop wikipedia

It needs a better explanation of 'How LN works'. The video was a waste of my time.
