Agree strongly with this. Just because the wiki model is publicly editable does not mean that everyone should make significant contributions. (See Wikipedia on being bold and "minor edits".) Expertise is still a requirement (arguably even more so than with most posts in Main), especially with scholarly or advanced topics such as some of the ones linked in the OP at first glance.
