I've quickly wrote down some thoughts about Wikiquote:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Low-barrier_Wikiquote

Wikiquote is what we call an "acqua cheta", a calm stream of water which
in the end digs a valley. Its apparent simplicity often deceives, but is
crucial.

Sorry for some blatant simplifications, of course an essay is just a way
to make a point.
