Until you try to correct simple mistakes on Wikipedia a couple of times, and learn that you should just give up, and accept things like broken grammar, repeated sentence fragments, etc.

I believe they are surfing on the strength of past contributions, and very dedicated in-group contributors, not by harnessing the world.

Counter-example: 99% of my Wikipedia activity is fixing typos here and there and I never got any issue.
