Wikipedia is made by people, like me and you. If you see bias or wrong information, you can either fix it or flag it with an appropriate template.

Unlikely you can just 'fix' most points on articles. They have mad gatekeepers.

I really would like to, but German Wikipedia for example is something of an inner circle where you can't do shit. They don't allow newcomers to touch most of the articles.

Please link such an article. I have never ever received a link to one when asking this question and I always ask for one/them when I read such "accusations".

I am also curious what AnBee tried to edit and was refused.

If you're a newcomer, start with simple edits. Fix small mistakes. Show the community you can be trusted.
