One massive flaw of the Wikipedia modell is that the people who edit Wikipedia the most "aggressively" are the ones with the most emotional investment in the topic.

This can lead to very detailed articles written by very enthusiastic people. In other cases the people who are very pro/against the subject will be the ones who put in the most effort, especially on smaller/controversial subjects.

I have seen Wikipedia pages which basically read like ads for small companies.
