I wouldn't say that. We only heard about this case, one of a single man, 
because it touches our interests. Who writes the articles you may be interested 
in? There are more than 3.5 million articles in en.wikipedia today... (among 
which 3-4 started by myself ;-)

Agreed. Very much agreed, in fact. Wikipedia is /the/ place for innovation to 
get a chance; probably the only one, even. (esp in our money-driven civilisation)
