The problem with Wikipedia is unfortunately the same problem as any society faces. Often things start out well, then [someone] arrives. Society then believes that if we define with rules and scripture how we believe, [someone] will behave like we did.

But [someone] isn't the one who started the project. They're a different person. And even if they read the rules, they are not motivated by the rules.
