Hmm, if someone "defects" wikipedia and doesn't edit it, no big deal. But there absolutely are edit wars and battles of authority and admin bans etc.

  Indeed. Hence my final phrase :)

    OK, so what model of overall cooperation would avoid Wikipedia drama? (having seen humanity's response to Covid, I'm not willing to admit "the spirit of full cooperation will bloom as defecting behaviour withers away" as axiomatic. But I am curious as to what you have in mind?)

      I don't have an alternative for Wikipedia. I'm saying we shouldn't lean into any (always seductive) way of thinking that demonises people who disagrees with our one true way of doing things. People should be herded cats; neither wild cats nor herded sheep.

        Agreed. What terms might be better than the game-theoretic Cooperator and Defector, then?
