Wikipedia and Me

I believe Wikipedia is very valuable, even authoritative on some subjects. I worry that centralization and democratization of knowledge pose problems that we won't fully appreciate for many years but the problems of gentrifying knowledge are well known. I hope Wikipedia will be able to successfully balance accessibility with the richness of expert research and the depth of scholarly literature.

I'm not in a position to bring the weight of scholarly literature to Wikipedia, but I am aWikipedia:WikiGnome.My writing experience focuses on local rewrites to cut lard from articles and enhance local clarity.
