Great article, thanks for that. Would you mind commenting on whether you think it’s an effective use of an EA’s time to edit and/or create content on Wikipedia?
I think it depends a lot on what kind of content you want to create and how efficient you are at it, but I do think that it could make sense from an EA perspective (in the loose sense) to do so. I have edited Wikipedia quite a bit, as you can see at http://vipulnaik.com/wikipedia/ and I have also paid others to edit Wikipedia, as you can see at http://vipulnaik.com/sponsored-wikipedia-editing/
