In all of its existence, has there ever been a "fundamental change in he way Wikipedia is run"?
Yes. In its early history, for a brief period of time, editors who were emotionally mature had a lot of say. People like Angela and Mav. There was an informal leadership of merit.
They were drowned out by morons and jimbophants in short order. It happened on Jimbo's watch and under his direction. He started promoting yes men to the arbcom and forming little secret star chambers to to is selfish bidding, and so on... That was a clear and fundamental change, at least to anyone who was there watching.
