Eventually somebody is going to use textbots to DDOS wikipedia with subtle propaganda (if they're not already doing that) and it will be impossible to protect without completely locking it down so that only established users can edit.

They already do that with a lot of hot topic articles. As is, there are a lot of protections in place and it’s very difficult for real vandalism or propaganda to stay on Wikipedia for long without someone noticing it and flagging/removing it.
