When the public finally understands the failings of a "wiki." Too many emperors. The emperors have no clothes, and most of the emperors are teenagers.
Like a powerful virus, a wiki can spread and infiltrate everything in it's path, albeit many times a virus kills the host.
The most likely scenario for Wikipedia will be a government action or intervention. Small governments already have acted, (e.g., schools and government districts that do not allow employees or students to rely on Wikipedia.) Ultimately civic organizations will outlaw it and some committee will question whether or not it is a threat to national security.
Without a final rule making / governing body, a wiki will not end on a postive or "good note."
Too many cooks.
For anyone not old enough to know that one? "Too many cooks spoil the broth." That is...as old as the hills.
