Interesting phenomenon I have noticed here and there:
these experts
choosing to work on Wikipedia on an entirely different topic
altogether. That is to say, someone quite qualified and competent to
write articles on Assyrian archaeology in the way we normally mean
when we say "expert", but instead writing at some length about
eighteenth-century music, on the grounds that Assyrian archaeology is
too much like the day job - besides, the articles are a mess, and this
other stuff is fun, damnit.
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I leave as an exercise to
the reader.

I never had much interesting in editing articles on law; and, after a
little experience with a "developer", little enthusiasm about arguing
about generally accepted legal principles with a half-educated horse's
ass. So I argued with a guy with a doctorate. Dumb arguments are
maddening. Just how is one supposed to prove which way is up?
