Anyway, I've been reading some of the comments, and they seem to indicate something of a Wikipedia-backlash-backlash.
This means, of course, that Wikipedia is now Punk Rock.
The concept of multilayered backlashes is hardly new either to Wikipedia or to Punk Rock; it's present, for instance, in the centuries-old English word "antidisestablishmentarianism", which is a name for the backlash against disestablishmentarianism, which in turn is the backlash against establishmentarianism. If another level of backlash were to develop, it might be named "contraantidisestablishmentarianism".
