Mutations of genes are random
The generation of Wikipedia entries are not random. Not even the spam is random. This is why the analogy fails. The reason evolution is non-intuitive is because it describes a system (natural selection) bringing order (more advanced species) out of chaos (random mutation). Wikipedia is non-intuitive because in these post-modern times the thought that large groups of people might behave in a manner approaching altruism is generally dismissed out of hand.
