Wikipedia is an example of the online community where users are united to achieve a common goal. In Wikipedia users are organized into different groups. There are readers, who are the majority of the Wikipedia population and the there are contributors. While from the first glance it seems that all of the editors have equal right (peer review) it is not so because Wikipedia has too large of an userbase and it's role is too important. Wikipedia also has a special class of users that review the articles and "mark" them legit, add their own comments or start a discussion on the topic.
If you want to have a platform like that to store your data and collaborate with others you don't have to go to Wikipedia. The open-source solution called Mediawiki is there for your aid. It is easy installable and resembles the Wikipedia in almost any way.
