I’m glad that the post’s first paragraph is now more consistent with the rest of it, but it does feel like it might need more on the old #3 to avoid the failure mode where a bunch of enthusiastic LessWrongers descend on Wikipedia, edit it in ways that existing Wikipedia editors disapprove of, and get blowback that ends up making things worse. At the very least it seems like there should be links to specific sets of rules that it would be easy to fall foul of, things like WP:COI and WP:NOTE and WP:RS.
