Some of those individuals in the "volunteer band" themselves have political axes to grind, as I observed with the biographies of two foreign politicians in different parties. One of the two resigned in disgrace; the other is still in office.
The "volunteer band" member is in the political party of the disgraced politician. He removes important text related to the actions of the disgraced politician as being a "minor incident", yet has spurious text about how the party is getting away from the shadow of that individual (he can't get away with the fact that the politician left office as perhaps the most unpopular person ever). He also has written copious amounts of highly-critical text about the in-office politician; and has glossed over why he got re-elected.
I decided that it wasn't worth fighting.
