Wikipedia 20 years ago was a fringe geek website with a grandiose goal. Most of the establishment hated it.

People from outside Wikipedia who try to analyse its current status must take its history into account.

People from within Wikipedia must stop behaving as if the project was marginal as it was in the early 2000s, and behave responsibly as the major actor of the web that they are.

Wikipedia used to be bullied. Now some want to turn it into a tool for bullying. That is not its mission.
