    Except there are defacto central authorities governing certain pages.

    Not only that there’s a turf war going on for control of them.

    Certain ahem religious organizations monitor a variety of pages and snipe any changes they disagree with. Businesses are doing it too.

      I haven’t participated in wikipedia enough to see how these turf wars play out. I’ve heard that, unsurprisingly, there are groups that control pages, some opposed and some unopposed. It’s a really interesting thing to me.

      I’m afraid of politics, generally speaking. But I bet it would be interesting to be a part of all that.
