  I picked one at random and the subject didn’t seem like someone I’d expect to have a bio on Wikipedia — some awards but no big achievements in her field were cited, much less linked to. Random Professor Earning Tenure, Watch This Space! That said, I’m in favor of everyone on the planet having a Wikipedia entry if anyone wants to make it for them. I’d love to do the same thing for lesser-known artists, but I’m lazy and I assume the WikiLords would erase everything. But maybe not, based on this… maybe I’m just lazy!

    > That said, I’m in favor of everyone on the planet having a Wikipedia entry if anyone wants to make it for them. I can't imagine a worse idea for some many reasons. - Wikipedia isn't supposed to have original research, and most people haven't been researched. - I don't want to search for composer John Williams and then see 300,000 other random people that fewer than 10 people want to read anything about. - Moderation is hard already.

  I clicked through 5 of them. All were professors with no substantial achievement mentioned. Are we going to make a Wikipedia page for all university professors on Earth? Surely they are smart and accomplished, but at least tell me what separates them from the crowd. What was their major breakthrough? the big invention? the novel technique? Otherwise this is just bloat IMO.
