RE: What the f***? There is NO STEEM WIKIPEDIA article!
I agree, this is by intention. My 2cs for the reason are:
Wikipedia is a model of telling "politically correct" and filtered truth. Whoever does not believe it, just look at the entry of the Swiss historian and peace researcher Daniele Ganser. After he uncovered some unpleasent truth ("Gladio"), he was blamed an conspiracy theorist to discredit him. Just one example of many.
Wikipedia has NO interest in giving away their monopole. Any decentralized projects where people can pull or share information in an unbiased, censorship-free way is in diametral contrast to their interests. They would not let a fair Steem entry alive, as their many superusers and admins would have no way to control the content.
I know about another example, being about some special biochemistry topic where the debate ended in deletion of a good article on it.
A recent newspaper article mentioned 3,600 incorrect entries at Wikipedia, blaming the issue on how society was 10-15 years ago when a huge amount of new editors joined.
I opt for giving it a try though. There's no plan B.
