Oh, definitely. But say I know a little bit about Little Bunny Foo Foo,
and think I could write a few useful paragraphs with the aid of google,
but I'm by no means a Bunny Foo Foo expert. If I see a Bunny Foo Foo
link to an article, unless I have more spare time than usual I'll
probably pass over it - after all, there's bound to be a few Bunny
Foo Foo expert wikipedians who know more about the subject than me.

But if I see a dangling link to Bunny Foo Foo, chances are better
I'll, uh, "hop" over and write something.


Just a point of view.
