Thanks for the piece Dariusz,
To your (legitimate) argument abour Wikipedia as challenging the
academic authority, I'd add the reciprocical distrust between both
worlds. It's in fact a difficult sociological position being a
wikipedian in academia AND an academic in wikipedia.
The norms and practices may seem similar, but they are actually quite
different. For example, you cannot import your medals (be it number of
publications or number of edits) from one world to the other.
Actually, you're more often than not told to chose your side. Hence, the
difficulty to establish fruitful contacts. Of course, some succesful
attemps do exist, but the general mood is still distrust.
