Sweet Raptor Jesus! I find it shocking that a Wikipedia editor would even THINK about using an analogy like this. Lern2internets, good sir. This is not a fenced sandbox you are playing in. Perhaps a little humility is due your editors and administrators, with the reminder that they are but a minuscule fraction of the total number of people who actively use the internet. The excuse 'well we don't know them' is laughable considering this fact.

Quoted For Truth. Wikipedia is viewed as a curio and a fanbois pseudo-reference in the eyes of most professional academics I have encountered. Sort of brings up the whole humility thing again, doesn't it?
