Is there an example of public crowdsourced resource of the comparable to Wikipedia size which managed to generate meaningful content without such kind of processes/bureaucracy?

The Israel-Palestine wars of that time were quite something and probably deterred a good amount of people who could have produced suitable content. The conflict was handled ineptly and way too late. No surprise that many academics still won't go near Wikipedia, especially in areas involving geopolitical conflicts.
