Is Law another lawyer by any chance?
And just why is Wikipedia so attractive to lawyers?
You may have noticed that in RL there is something of a recession.
Lawyers are employed lots in boom times, where the expenditure on them is worth the value they bring in; busy and rich companies will throw money at litigants to make them go away. Lots of liquidity in the market place allows people to gamble on trying to grab what others are too foolish to lock up. When things go bad nobody wants to spend money on trying to squeeze a bit of cash out of a company that is going belly up. Those foolish with their cash are now holding a whole pile of empty.
There are a lot of lawyers with quite a bit of time on their hands, at the moment. Accountants are busy whether or not the economy is doing good or bad - but something like WP provides them with all the safe "risk" that breaks the ennui of their lives...
Doctors are fab. If there are any on WP, it is because they are brilliant and want to share.
