Because no one else is doing it--not even the media.

I suspect the virus shutdown has put a major crimper in their publicity hounding. No more edit-a-thons, the WMF nerds are forced to work from home, Wikimania is off for this year, etc.

There is now a "Wikipedia of Covid-19" thing

looks like someone from the "Master Chef Australia" tv show has been editing their WP article....there's no trace in the edit history so I'm guessing an oversighter made it vanish

Almost forgot this, because it's just too damn stupid:

https://www.zmescience.com/science/wiki ... s-feature/

"ZME Science" is a semi-obscure science group blog, which seems to attract very little reader traffic.....this item is garbage partly because it fails to mention all the rotten tricks pulled over the past 15 years by Bruce "BD2412" Abramson. Nor does it mention the epic shitrivers generated by Farmbrough.
