I respect your opinion but I do not think it reflects the majority of users in this initial group.
I think it is good Wikipedia was willing to test for the truth and be open to acknowledging it is not at its maximum potential for achieving its mission by sticking with the existing design.
I comment here because I also thought if Craigslist but for an opposing reason. I see Craigslist as neglectful in its refusal to perform public research on what it should change.
Not only in terms of design but also features such as validated identity.
There is a reason Craigslist usage has dwindled to other marketplaces, those with far less capitalistic and privacy-minded philosophies.
There is a price to pay for refusing to change. Craigslist is a slow moving, very public example of this.
