They have a really good idea, or good intentions or whatever. Knowledge really should be available for anyone. But they have so much spam (<i>in the form of articles that shouldn't be there, largely articles promoting one particular company</i>) and people taking ownership of pages, using them as a social internet power game that knowledge isn't always what Wikipedia makes available.
