Amazingly, on Wikipedia they aren't. Various

other, but seem to switch between the two depending on whether a group of
people or an individual have the upper hand there, or a lot of people are
trying to get the upper hand on the others.

(Not that this is a bad thing on your part, I'm just asking. I suspect
that this being the case for a lot of people is a lot of the
perception of the problem. I just find myself repeatedly surprised at
people talking about Wikipedia's problems as if they're novel in any
way.)
David,
Do you believe the problems outlined in this and other posts exist in WP?
Whether WP is a person's first or fiftieth online community to be involved
in, if you do believe the problems exist, how do your comments work toward
resolving them?
