A friend pointed out to me offlist that there is a slight error in my statement which merits correcting: JSTOR is not necessarily to blame here, since they are simply an archive, and have to fit in with how journal publishers license their content. So FWIW, the real solution probably starts with open access journals like those published by PLoS. Wikipedia could do a lot more to encourage use of the the open access content that already is available. -- Steven Walling https://wikimediafoundation.org/
