You are missing the point. Identifying an expert and asking them to write the article is exactly what traditional encyclopedia's do, while wikipedia actively discourages this.
- tptacek 15y agoThat's not true. Wikipedia does not have a policy of discouraging experts from writing there. I've personally said (a couple times here) that experts shouldn't write Wikipedia articles, because it is a waste of their time. But they are clearly welcome to do so. The only thing they're not welcome to do is to cite their own expertise instead of actual sources.
