Pondering Wikimedia UK, Good guys and hangers on? Options

[dogbiscuit]

Within Wikipedia we know that there are some genuine characters who are intent on doing Good Works through Wikipedia. Others have other motivations. Within Wikimedia UK, I'd assume the same is true. I am sure that some people there are genuinely trying to make the world a better place through Wikipedia, however misguided we might believe them to be. On the other hand, our dear friend Fae has no obvious motivation for engaging in the bureaucracy of Wikipedia other than being a would-be bureaucrat as far as I can see from the profile we have seen from his editing.

What of the others on Wikimedia UK?

Who are the Good Guys, people who that believe that they are doing good works with Wikipedia and believe in the mission, and who are the gamers and who are just there to extract some money while it is on offer?

I think one of the draws of WMUK is that it gives one an entrance to the backrooms and non-public collections of public museums, libraries, and art galleries. That in itself is enough for people with an interest in historic artifacts or the arts. If one were in, say, a consulting business, the contacts one could make in those organizations could be paving the way for future employment.
