Brittanica now allows any member of the public to edit (under moderation),
Have you tried to do this? I tested it out shortly after the editing interface went live, and found that while I could access the text and make changes, I couldn't actually submit the changes without signing up for a subscription (at least, a free trial subscription). I think the Britannica "editing by the public" move is more or less a gimmick to drive subscriptions rather than an effort to seek reader edits.
