Per that one example.

The URL of the article being linked to was "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Twin_Cities_riots" (it has now been changed).

Compare the two: "Twin Cities whatever" used in the URL is a lot less political than "Goerge Floyd whatever". And the "riots" used in the URL is obviously something people were searching Google for.

Wikipedia could have used the more conservative name, and acknowledged that "the protests, also known as the "George Floyd Riots" (as is obvious from the URL)....

Don't get fixated on that example though - the whole article reads like it was written by the press team of a large corporation with a narrative to sell.

>>sam_go+(OP)
The current name of the article is "George Floyd protests in Minnesota", and first paragraph contains "The course of events in Minnesota has also been referred to as the Minneapolis riots".

I disagree riots is a more conservative name - this would imply an article solely about the riots, necessiting an additional article about the protests, one which, being written in a way as to minimize overlap, would probably be accused of downplaying the very much existing riots. Or at the very least balkanize coverage.
