Hello together,
we had mentioned the topic of expert recruitment on several occasions, and in order to get things going on this one, I have started http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Top_ten_reasons_why_academics_do_not_contribu... .
I put it on Wikiversity instead of Meta because I think it is more visible there.
Please chime in.
Cheers,
Daniel
Daniel,
nice one – I'd love to see some scholarly literature on the topic, should anyone on the list have references to contribute.

I have a few references down for this. Will have a look on my delicious, and other lists to chime in after the weekend. There was a special issue on Episteme http://www.euppublishing.com/journal/epi about expertise and there were a couple of relevant articles there (one from Larry Sanger). Another way - possibly - to look into this is to scrutinise the pages on positive examples of academics contributing through student engagement (see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Murder_Madness_and_Mayhem). But yes, what you are asking Daniel is of a different nature. There's a lot of anecdotal evidence ....
Also I am sure that all the WMF folk involved in the public policy initiative will have some more knowledge and resources.
