Alas such praise is not universal. The editors at Wikipedia decided that this wiki was of limited value due to the lack of a robust editorial policy and the limited number of editors. A trend that continues as a single editor can daily spam so many articles that it becomes an onerous task for other editors to work through them all correcting all the spelling/typo mistakes, factual inaccuracies, or discuss whether tabloid sensationalism deserves equal weighting as verifiable content. etc. All of which devalues the work as a whole.
