people who are not motivated by a pursuit of facts or truth
I am not quite sure about this. In my view Wikipedia tries to negotiate a middle ground between all the different people who think they have a claim on the "facts" or "truth". Just imagine Charles Murray presenting his research that the economic problems of America's working class are largely its own fault, stemming from factors like the presence of a lot of lazy men as a fact on Wikipedia. (Quote from: http://chronicle.com/article/Charles-Murray-Author-of-The/130722/ http://chronicle.com/article/Charles-Murray-Author-of-The/13... - currently most popular Cronicle article). I truly believe that people have most of the time good intentions with their edits, but there are a lot of different versions of "truth" around - especially in Social Sciences.
