Whenever I find that something isn't on the Wiki, I try to add it. (E.g., the articles on alpha/beta/eta reduction.)

On the other hand, when I find something isn't there, it's usually because I'm trying to look it up because I don't understand it. ;-) To some extend, incorrect information can be worse than no information... :-(

Conversely, it's generally easier for us to fix an incorrect page than
to write a new one from scratch.

...hence my usual tacktic of adding the page and putting in the comments "somebody should probably check this..."

Sometimes it works. ;-)

(It worked for the beta and eta articles - somebody quickly pointed out that I actually got the names the wrong way round! Oops... On the other hand, I updated the Existential Type article, and apparently nobody noticed that one of my examples don't actually compile due to gratuetusly invalid syntax.)
