Well, other "educationally minded organizations" do not either solicit
amateurs for writing encyclopedic articles.
But we do peer review images after they have been uploaded on Commons
or Wikipedia.

It seems that, 10 years after Wikipedia and its sisters have been
created, you still do not understand that there are wikis.
