The comments on that article in MIT Technology Review seem to be a golden example of the problem with Wikipedia. A bunch of people with axes to grind saying "the problem with Wikipedia is that I didn't prevail in this or that dispute, and my brilliance isn't recognized there."
There just aren't incentives to contribute to Wikipedia aside from ego; its too hard to do it out of a sense of communitarian sharing. And its that same ego that makes the bureaucracy so awful.
