That perennial media narrative is a "meme" you're fighting.
I think part of it is that it's much simpler than the rather subtle truth.

Subtle truth: "Wikipedia used complete openness and anarchy as an effective tool to jumpstart the creation of an encyclopaedia and to build a community around it."
