Wikipedia is not wiki. Indeed it is not. It is not a wiki like usemod and Ward's wiki etc. It has ceased being egalitarian. The reason is: because it is an encyclopedia. It aims at being an encyclopedia, not just a collection of information for everyone to wade through without any moderation, guidelines, structure or policy. [...] Because in the end the main aim of Wikipedia is to produce an encyclopedia. Neutral. Verifiable. Referenced. Coming to a mirror near you.
Hear, hear! Throw that editor a peanut! Heck, a bucket of peanuts :-)
