Canada got outed as having a government "influencer" group working various websites.
I think the sources boil down to government agencies, political parties, corporations, and some churches.
Long ago, I tried pointing out to admins on Wikipedia how articles were being subverted to push various agendas. But the vast bulk of that activity was on the English-language Wikipedia, not the other national Wikis. Of course, very little interest on the part of the Wikipedia admins. That whole "Wiki" enterprise is very ideological in any case.
A price we pay, I suppose, for English being a de facto international language.
Cheers
