That said, I do want to say that any "dictatorial" type of system is inherently flawed and the results are only as good as the leadership and mediation skills of the current dictator (which can be anything between benevolent to malevolent).
A malevolent dictator would never have had the altruistic followers that Jimbo has had here. In such circumstances the 'pedia would have had far fewer articles over the same time.
Never underestimate the appeal of malevolent dictators. Wikipedia would still be popular under a malevolent dictator. He'd be deposed, though.
