Well, currently, a lobbyist provides the desired changes, and your politician implements them. I am proposing to make it possible for everybody to propose changes easily.
It’s easy to propose changes in a representative democracy. That’s what letters to politicians are for. They are not a tool that’s limited to lobbyists.
There are also other tools such as petitions or responding to requests for comments to engage with the process.
Many people determine what actually makes up wikipedia’s content, but far fewer are in charge and oversee the final approval.
Wikipedia has no process that’s well described by the words “final approval”.
As an example, in the past it would have been very hard to convince an editor of a classic (digital) encyclopedia to include a list of all Star Trek episodes. Nowadays, If you want one, you can write it yourself. And if it is factually correct, then it will probably be included.
That’s misrepresents Wikipedia policy for most articles. “Factually correct” is not a category that Wikipedia cares about. It cares about whether the article is referenced with reliable sources and whether it’s notable.
Even if this would be how Wikipedia works, it’s benefitial towards producing a quanity of articles. When it comes to laws you don’t want quantity. You want as little laws as possible because with increased quantity of laws it gets more complex.
