The Dark Secrets of Wikipedia

<p>Many Wikipedians believe that the problem of how<br/>to recruit and keep skilled editors given the anarchic<br/>and often irritating character of Wikipedia is one that<br/>has to be addressed. Based on the hundreds of<br/>articles that need expert attention it is obvious that<br/>there is a need to promote their involvement and that<br/>the community must provide accommodations for<br/>them.</p><p><br/>Some professional editors have resigned from<br/>Wikipedia due to their dissatisfaction with the<br/>organization's rules and procedures. To establish if<br/>such withdrawals have happened in large enough<br/>numbers to be considered worrisome no research<br/>has been carried out to this end. Nonetheless the<br/>impression alone may be sufficient to raise concerns<br/>that content on Wikipedia is not produced to a high<br/>level of accuracy or completeness as a result of a<br/>lack of involvement by subject matter experts which<br/>may raise legitimate concerns.</p>
