It doesn't matter how many OTHER articles someone has contributed to, the basic structure of wiki is based on false premises. If anything, the more articles you have edited, the less you should be allowed TO edit. Wiki keeps all the edits, so just go back and look at the poor mediation wiki has done, the favoritism, the palpable bias, it isn't a "community", it is a mob. And like most mobs, it isn't very intelligent or rational.
