Subject line says all: is there an organizational similarity between Wikipedia and Quaker meetings? 

Anyone is theoretically authorized to speak/contribute; some (elders/sysops) are slightly more equal than others; subtle social mechanisms make the overall process more orderly than one might expect; decision-making is done by consensus; deliberately disruptive behavior occasionally occurs and is dealt with but the process is not easy...
