the administrators exercise very little if any editorial influence over wikipedia they have only intervened in a small number of cases for example they have never had any influence over the editing of this article nevertheless wikipedia is not an example of spontaneous order what is spontaneous about it it is not like a market where for example a complex highly efficient supply chain might arise without any individual even being aware of it let alone designing it on the contrary wikipedia demonstrates no organization that has not been explicitly specified by some human editor moreover where is the order to it it is a random hyperlinked jumble as it should be its only order is that it is separated into articles with titles but that is hardly an order worth noting perhaps it is the actual content of articles that is supposed to exhibit spontaneous order but again i do not see how every wikipedian adds his little piece and the total is the sum of the parts spontaneous order only occurs when something more emerges
