Wikipedia article "Fourteen Points", Section 4.4 (Reaction, Other countries). Call for rewrite of this section.
The author(s) of this section has used a false argument to support an ad hominem attack on President Wilson (4.4.Paragr4, "Moreover, Wilson was not by character or background an anti-colonialist or campaigner for rights and freedoms for all people, instead he was also very much a racist, a fundamental believer in white supremacy.[20] F" -- and through that the Fourteen Points, which is inappropriate to a universally accessed reader venue seeking a fair, objective guide to history.  The personal attack on Wilson ought to be stricken from the published article.

"Wilson's speech regarding the Fourteen Points led to unintentional but important consequences in regards to countries which were under European colonial rule or under the influence of European countries. In many of the Fourteen Points, specifically points X, XI, XII and XIII, Wilson had focused on adjusting colonial disputes and the importance of allowing autonomous development and self-determination."

The matter of colonial disputes is nowhere mentioned or alluded to in Points X, XI, XII and XIII. Rather, as the attentive reader sees for oneself, Point V provides the only reference specifically addressed to "colonial claims," thereby making the author's third paragraph in Section 4.4 superfluous, the author's fourth shakier than Galloping Gertie.
