I think there is a certain danger associated. I was a watcher of a few Wikipedia lemmas on esoteric topics and it was quite hard to keep these articles grounded in reality, I believe some actors on there were Astro turfing to sell more scams energy devices, and part of their strategy was to have a fitting, non-critical Wikipedia article to the esoterica they sell.
I don’t contribute to Wikipedia anymore for the obvious reasons. Now there is one person less making sure that the article on Orgon Energy something states that it’s not a concept accepted by science.
My point is the more articles the less likely is it that a community can maintain the information and reach a certain consensus on what would be a neutral view when phrasing the article.
