I'm not entirely sure of this. It is accurate to
say that Wikipedia is found useful by people - but I'm not sure the current community
and bureaucratic structures have anything to do with why. I suspect the useful parts are
unevenly distributed towards articles older than five years.
I'm not sure they are either. OTOH, there's at least 250 ways to do it.
