Wikipedia's Gaps and the Power of Paid Editors
2025-03-31
Wikipedia relies entirely on volunteers, leading to gaps in content. Areas like Science, Technology, Engineering, and Finance are under-represented, as is content from non-English speaking countries. Hundreds of thousands of high-quality articles remain untranslated. Targeted funding could significantly address these issues. However, even paid editors need autonomy and ownership to maintain quality; they edit under their own accounts and are responsible for maintaining their contributions.
