If you put your document/content on Wikipedia and then someone edits it; you no longer own the document. Alright maybe you could have them give you the rights to their edits. But what if hundreds of people edit it, and something happens to someone they move away, get put in jail, stop using Wikipedia, changed their email addresses, etc. If everyone gives you their edit rights but that one person does not, do you only own 99% of it? First of all, if you’re worried about your copyright don’t post documents/content on Wikipedia. But, also maybe the Wikipedia documents/content copyrights with its hundreds of authors should not last for as long as regular copyright for individuals or small groups of authors.
