Ec is correct, there is no consensus, besides that which the ownership of Wikipedia by the cyber-living has already established. At some point, imo, it has to be decided, is Wikipedia a general online encyclopedia that anybody can edit, or is it an elitist workspace for an elitist group of people who live in cyberspace? Because this latter group is none too fond of the anybodies of the world.

This entire post is excellent and, I'm sure for some, painfully insightful, and deadly accurate. Solutions? A societal structure needs a cultural one to support it. And a culture is created, promoted and nurtured from the very top of an organization. None of this is going to change until the ethic at the top does.
