Because no one else is doing it--not even the media.

“As long as it [Wikipedia] shows Turkey, which has rendered more than 3,000 terrorists ineffective, as a supporter of DAESH [the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)], it will not be allowed to operate in Turkey,” Arslan said in a statement on Friday, adding that Wikipedia editors who want to intervene in the “inaccurate content” from Turkey are prevented from doing so.
The Ankara 1st Criminal Court of Peace in 2017 ordered a ban on the website after Wikipedia reportedly refused to remove two English-language pages that claimed Ankara had supported jihadists in Syria.
“For a year, the people of Turkey have not been able to learn from, share, or contribute knowledge on Wikipedia. Without participation from Turkey, the world suffers. We remain committed to restoring access to Wikipedia in full for the people of Turkey. #WeMissTurkey,” said the foundation.

Second, it is important to note that, unlike other top internet platforms, the Wikimedia Foundation does not own or control the content of the sites it hosts, including Wikipedia. With respect to the editing process, the Foundation cannot remove or alter content.
This statement appears to significantly misrepresent the facts. What say you, Mr. General Counsel? DON'T WAIT FOR THE TRANSLATION!
These fucking people.

Of course they don't own the controle. You just run a wiki with troll power and a SanFanBan, and claim you have no control over the content. Is clear, isn't it? They are such a bunch of idiots, you won't believe it.
