> Considering most Wikipedia editors are under-employed guitarists and retired house painters deciding on the veracity of details about local history events and obscure scientific niches, this doesn't help much.

OP: that's true, for majority editors. But just like Balaji says in his Network State book, it only take a small group of people to start something big. We just need early adoptions from some subset of editors and hopefully if it's useful, other poeple will see it and begin using it.
