Amazingly, on Wikipedia they aren't. Various areas are not only one or the 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.
A question: is Wikipedia the first online community you've been deeply involved in?
(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.)
