This can occur whether it is apparent that the others are slacking or if someone simply believes that the group is slacking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_loafing#%22Sucker%22_effect/Aversion …

There are (at least) two myths about how the city of Barcelona was founded. Did a Carthaginian general first name it Barkenon after himself, or did Hercules name is Barca Nona ("Ninth Ship") after saving seafarers from a shipwreck? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Barcelona#Legends_about_the_foundation …https://twitter.com/IamProvisional/status/1123278321582772225 …

Sadece Türkçe Vikipedi’de Mısır’ın coğrafyasından kuantum hesaplarına 325.000’den fazla madde var. Eğer her biri bir kitap olsaydı, bir bölge kütüphahesini doldururdu. Milyonlara ücretsiz hizmet veren bir kütüphane.

Turkish Wikipedia alone contains more than 325,000 articles on everything from the geography of Egypt to quantum computing. If every article were a book, this would be enough books to fill a regional library and then some. A library that freely serves millions.

Short answer is, you’d look elsewhere for the facts you need. But you would be missing out on the thousands of Wikipedia contributors verifying, fact-checking, and citing sources to create a comprehensive free collection of knowledge for the world, by the world.
