It is a virtue! Wikipedia is something one consumes, like a novel. The pleasure of consuming it is the pretense (perhaps even not all that much of a pretense? Though I guess you would disagree): "Here are the objective facts. I shall now make up my own mind" - for someone to give you their interpretation of the facts would be like the insertion of a cowboy scene into a domestic tragedy - not that cowboy scenes aren't good, but they clearly detract there from the enjoyment of the thing.
