I don't know if it is so harmless drama - for example see this: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/10/01/wikipedia_and_naked_... it is certainly overdramatized on itself by the journalist - but even if there is just a trace of truth - then it seems quite serious.
The only serious threat to the encyclopedia would be a force that would prevent strong writing on relevant subjects from being incorporated into it, or a force that persistantly corrupted that strong writing once it was incorporated. This link is just drama.
What lazy or corrupt journalists choose to do with the content in the encyclopedia is a problem outside the purview of the encyclopedia.
