You don't seem to understand. They removed a very clear connection to ISIS from Wikipedia, because everyone who saw it knows how bad that looks. Nobody is going to pop out the menu and then click on "popular forces" to find out that it is ISIS.
Also this is definitely not just some random dude. These are organized efforts from the Israeli government to edit Wikipedia in their favor.

I DO understand. Clearly, I do, since I bothered to dig into Wikipedia's very public history. The person who made the edit primarily made edits in ways that were defamatory to Palestinians and a few token attempts to hide their agenda. They are currently topic locked for the article in question. Maybe it's not a random dude, but I can't personally say for sure what this person is up to. None of this is relevant to the image that you shared clearly, including the IS being a Palestinians ally (which is false). You can't idiot proof information because idiots can't be trusted to read.
