Perhaps Wikipedia exists due to its willingness to compromise on integrity, something that Western commercial entities were hesitant to do. An free online encyclopedia was a gap in the Internet you could drive a car through.
'I found it on Wikipedia' remains a euphemism for unreliable research, and participation in the project can be understood as an appeal to what Jean Baudrillard[1] understood as our primordial need to reproduce.
Indeed I edit Wikipedia, because I like the sound of my voice. Much the same reason I posted this comment.
