And awareness among hard-core political activists and junkies is probably pretty high. But we're talking a very small percentage of the US population. There are only a few thousand regular editors on en.wp. There really aren't that many people who edit Wikipedia. And [[David H. Koch]] for example is semi-protected. So we're talking about a handful of editors. There are big differences between the hypothetical potential pool of people capable of editing Wikipedia, the pool of people interested in doing so, the people with the experience and ability to do so effectively, etc. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
