Let Wikipedia be some weirdly curated thing that is often useful but not the primary source for everything. I agree wholeheartedly with the article: if you care about something, cover it and protect it separately from Wikipedia. It'll get found through search anyways.

If I could actually make this guarantee for any page I created, I would be richer than Gates.

It'll get found by anyone who's looking for it... that, anyone can do.
Looking for that specific page, which they already know about? Sure, they'll just enter the URL or click the bookmark.
Looking for some page containing similar keywords to mine? Again, if I could reliably cause people with relevant interests to come to any page I create, I'd be in a great place financially. I'd just start an online poker site, then go out and buy myself a pony made of diamonds.
