But not the premise of Wikipedia. The premise is that truth and
expertise can come from a variety of sources, not all of whom have
degrees and formal titles.
I've never contributed a thing to Wikipedia where I wasn't certain of my
ability to improve on the truth and expertise contained therein. Sadly,
not everyone takes that responsibility as seriously. This is the
Internet, after all.
