Ok, so the question was whether galaxies spin in differing directions. They do. As stated by astronomers with reference to a paper.

That Wikipedia page (which I have no objection to at all) does not say otherwise. You do, but without a source.

It is possible that in fact it is you who does not know what astronomy says, isn't it?

(An alternative view has also been put forth, which is what this paper is replying to, that there is a small ~ 7% excess of galaxies spinning in one direction compared to the other. Note, that's a small imbalance, not the 99.9999% suggested by there only being six exceptions.)
