Well think about the Wikipedia thing this way. For every jerk who wants to sabotage an article on a certain topic, there's probably at least 10 people who know the topic and see the article and think, "well that's wrong, I should probably correct it." As a history student, I know that there are a lot of historians who like Wikipedia and watch the articles that pertain to topics that they have expertise in. I can only assume that scholars in other fields do the same.
