There was an article in the New York Times a few days ago, on a related theme:

One of its arguments was that there are whole cultures that lack published "reliable sources".
I found that article very funny, personally. So apparently it's noble and worthwhile for the Foundation to go out into South Africa or India and spend the donations listening to people on random things like how to make a drink (not to produce articles, even, but just a documentary).
But things the white nerds who wrote Wikipedia care about, like comic books or MUDs or text games or anime which are underserved by RSs? Well, if they don't have RSs, they can go screw themselves. (If you care so much about fancruft, go work on a Wikia! We're busy trying to figure out how to deal with editor retention.)
