So who writes everything for Wikipedia?

Like I know it grows so much because anyone can write and edit articles, but who the hell are the people writing all the long, technical stuff? People just writing those articles because it's fun or something?

Um... I thought the concept of WIKI is that everybody can add to it.

I already stated that. I'm asking who are the people that care to write it.

So what's to stop someone from going there and going crazy and deleting all the content?

There was an article on money.cnn.com talking about Wikipedia making a move to non-internet form.
In it, the founder said that the main contributions came from a community of about 2000.
