I wasn't comparing. My interest is in Wikipedia. In any case, such comparisons do not make things inevitable and therefore unworthy of thought.
The very idea of Wikipedia, it seems to me, is to avoid the dominance of any one group or person. That it does such a good job of this is actually all the more reason to keep in mind that it is not perfect and why.
People where saying the exact same thing a decade ago when the world wide web was all the rage. That the "internet" would revolutionize human society, that direct democracy would become usable and that all forms of oppression and mass media control would magically disappear.. halleluja!
Well, no, that's not what I said.
