GBG has a point. An educator might prefer that all the students earn top grades, but is resigned to the observation that some students will do poorly.
The students who do poorly simply receive lower grades.
Right now, Wikipedia is not earning high marks. Perhaps it never will. So for the foreseeable future, I expect WP will simply receive a failing grade with respect to objective standards of accuracy, excellence, and ethics in online performance as a would-be encyclopedia.
