Highly implausible. Wikipedia has 4,300,000 registered accounts
(probably fewer individual users since a lot might be sock puppets or
throwaways, but this also doesn't count anons so call it an order of
magnitude estimate). So you're suggesting that, on average, there have
only ever been 43 registered users in the history of Wikipedia who have
been capable of writing "objectively about themselves or something they
have a vested interest in promoting?" That's _generous_? I think you've
got an overly pessimistic view of our contributors and would like to
know how you arrived at that figure.
