Yes - good article - one of the very rare anti-wikipedia articles. Goes nowhere to say why or to suggest solutions though.

This is a side point but if you have seen the social side of wikipedia and how it has had to change from open collaboration as the organisation scaled - you would understand the "why" - the legal structures they adopted litterally (en)force the insiders to hold onto their position as early adopters, and pit themselves against real experts that come along later - all too painfully predictable.
