Obviously, one would have to find funding for such a thing. AFAIR, the
German Wikipedia received funding from the German government and a
private company for a project that was used for paid contributors.
Yes, if you can find the funding, it would be great. We should target
post-grads, rather than under-grads, though. The information added
will be much more reliable.
Not necessarily, in my opinion. I believe that anybody who has managed
to get into university and has at least spend a term there knows how to
research facts and source/cite them using the citation methods used on
Wikipedia.
