I mean, seriously.
Of course - that's one of my issues with Wikipedia's tagging culture -
that people will spend lots of time doing things like tagging but not
even attempt to fix the problems they're identifying.
On the other hand, some topics can't be easily sourced without a
specialist library.

Matt addresses a good point. People prefer tagging because it's easy and
fast.
We need ways to encourage people to do the grunt work and reward them for
doing so.
It's a tall order, but changing the wikipedia culture would solve a lot of
problems.
Any ideas on how to get that done?
