When Oliver Cowdery wrote the first Church history, he emphasized he was reporting facts.
Certain modern LDS scholars reject what Oliver said because they prefer creating a consensus regarding their own theories.
Contrast that to this explanation from the CEO of NPR and former head of Wikimedia:
Former head of the Wikimedia foundation and current CEO of NPR, Katherine Maher: “The Wikipedians who write these articles aren’t focused on finding the truth. For our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth isn’t the best place to start. Reverence for the truth might have become a bit of distraction that is preventing us from finding consensus and getting important things done.”
