Wikipedia on the Decline?

I recently came across an article in Time magazine stating that the fall of Wikipedia was inevitable, and cited how Wikipedia is not growing as fast as it once did.  I find it very fascinating that the commentary is that Wikipedia is becoming more and more bureaucratic, and in order to successfully contribute the barriers to entry are high:

Over time, though, a class system emerged; now revisions made by infrequent contributors are much likelier to be undone by élite Wikipedians. Chi also notes the rise of wiki-lawyering: for your edits to stick, you’ve got to learn to cite the complex laws of Wikipedia in arguments with other editors. Together, these changes have created a community not very hospitable to newcomers.

I am continuing research on Wikipedia Administrators and I find the organizational problem of how to “manage the crowd” a very interesting area.  Is it really inevitable that any organization must get more bureaucratic as it gets larger?  What organizational levers exist for Wikipedia to be able deal with its current issues as the contributor base grows?
