Plenty of places have little or no government and no billionaires even with States actively trying to fight the idea. Government is only one way of organizing and not a very good or egalitarian one
If Wikipedia were the sole organization operating within a territory and they decided what people were allowed to do in that territory, then yes they’d abso-fucking-lutely be the government.
So what if there isn’t that and everyone kind of gets a say
You know that’s not even how government worked for most of history right that’s super recent and like newer than steam engine real politics is complicated
That’s not even how modern us government works
Edit: so my ex gf was Canadian. She lived in Los Angeles in winter. A sanctuary city. Matters because she was an immigrant and didn’t do any paperwork about it. Feds would arrest her city cops were forbidden from arresting her for that and we both smoked a ton of weed which feds say is illegal but the state/province if California said is legal and fine and needs to be taxed but the feds would fuck your shit up for if you were known for it.
There is not one authority deciding what is and isn’t okay even here and now and it used to be way more fractious complicated. Imagine if I was catholic or wahabbist.

If you “organize” a nation full of people to decide on the “rules”, then that is “government” writing the “laws”.
So the IEEE and web consortium unicode and Wikipedia foundation are governments.
