I hear this criticism a lot, and it's usually about something subjective like politics or biographies.

Was frustrating to read about but it follows issues I have had trying to fix problems in some technology articles as well. Its not just an issue with biographies and politics there is basically a troll behind every false fact on wikipedia with power.
There is little question that an author should easily be able to correct a factual inaccuracies in a Wikipedia article which is related to them or their work, however the rights of an author to suppress mentions of reviews of their work purely because they disagree with them, are a different matter entirely.
