Yeah, you're right. There used to be a lot of discussion on page edit threads about what was going on. The rank and file wikipedia volunteers and ACTUAL employees were noticing at the highest level, the wrong people were coming in and making sweeping changes. No amount of money donated could have stopped what was happening.
This is right around the time schools changed their position on wikipedia. Before no school would let you use wikipedia as a source or annotation, whether it be middle school or college. All of a sudden, the entire k-12 and higher learning community was cool with? Pedagogy takes decades to formalize and yet it just happened overnight.
No coincidence at all, wiki is simply part of the indoctrination now. I'll still use it to look up random release date on video game or some random crap, but for serious research I'd trust a crappy 90s angelfire page before it.
