Don't forget, though, that some of the Wikipedians may have decent
experience either as CEO's themselves, or in HR - or even working under
CEO's!

So there may be important insight to gain from them and their advice :)
Especially as it is likely to be a no BS assessment.

When I hire people I usually round up the final candidates and take them to
lunch with some of the current employees - and then debrief informally later
to see what they thought. This is almost always the best hiring advice you
will ever get.
