What is Wikipedias position on academia? Does Wikipedia want help from academics?
Definitely, yes. One fairly common misconception about Wikipedia is that it’s hostile to experts. That’s not true. Many Wikipedia editors are academics, and most editors have a deep respect for people who dedicate their lives to educating others. Wikipedia editors tend to consider themselves as part of an ecosystem of knowledge-sharing that includes people like librarians, academic researchers, public broadcasters, archivists and museum workers, and the like. Wikipedia editors welcome anyone who wants to help, and it’s obvious that academics have relevant, useful skills for our work.
