I think if we want to turn around academic perception,
we need to:
1. make academics welcome on Wikipedia (apart from the usual conflict of interests)
Yes, but I would argue the easiest and most impactful way for academics
to help Wikipedia is to release their works with a free license. It's
gratis and only takes a few minutes with proper tools:

In an ideal world the two things are not incompatible or even in
competition, but in practice you're likely to have limited attention and
time from an academic so you probably have to prioritise.
