AFAIK, the editors, friends, wives, colleagues, flatmates etc of
authors have no part of the copyright of printed works. Even if
someone breaks your stream of consciousness into sections, formats it
and adds a graphic or two, it's still "entirely your own".

But people don't upload their individual, solo, original printed works
onto Wikipedia, they upload extensively researched information from
other people's original printed works, then others edit them. The
originals worth having are published under copyright and sold with the
author's name on them.
Photographers upload their original photographs to Wikipedia.
