Wikipedia is like a microcosm of public politics, large version of a high school social system, or maybe a cult.
There's cliques, arcane rules, and always always an agenda. It would make for a fascinating study on human behavior and how it relates to politics in the real world. Wikipedia internal politics are a scary beast fraught with peril. And the actual content suffers horribly.

Then watch the talk where some news-sources are unacceptable when they support the wrong narrative but unsubstantiated blogs can be used to push the right one. It's fascinating although a little scary.
