As always, if there is a way to do something, there will be a way to abuse it. Remember when we enabled IPv6 support some people started moaning that new style IPs are vandalising even though the rate of vandalism wasn't different between IPv4 and IPv6 anons? This is the same situation: to your example one can always provide a counterexample, "OMG the article about our favorite singer is so crappy, let's all help make it awesome!" Is that bad? Even someone as hating social networks as me has to agree that by now, there's no rational reason not to add social sharing buttons.
Not sure where to reply to a top-post to a bottom posted thread, so I will shoot for the middle and hope people can keep track of this knot. Your counterexample (which can be manually done today, so I've got experience with it) invariably winds up with a fan-flood of inexperienced editors and we wind up semi-protecting the article to keep them from damaging it.

I think its important to separate two types of social media interaction:
*allowing people to post their favourite article (share this links) *meta level interaction (stuff about the community)
Nobody objects to the second afaik. The first is like proposing nsfw filters on commmons (ie get ready for the pitchforks).
You missed the worst part: "Some evil administrator won't let me post that Mariah Carey/Iggy Azalea/pop singer of the week sold 50 bajillion copies of her latest album! Fans Unite, and make sure that Wikipedia has the TRUTH!" accompanied by an "edit this article" link to the singer's article. The last thing we need to do is make that kind of crap easier.
