I think a pertinent detail here is that Wikipedia operates by community consensus (except when admins say “fuck you”) meaning that, like real-life democracy, it is very in favor of organized groups that have people spending time evaluating and advocating for things who can consistently vote as a bloc in favor of certain positions wherever and whenever such things are relevant. Most people have lives and thereby cannot participate on this level.
