You need to offer a writer something very
different, if you are to
motivate him to write in the early stages when readership will be low.
Or indeed, you have to attract the type of writer who would be wholly
disinterested in writing for wikipedia.
More - you need people who are actually disinterested, not embittered.
Note how many Wikipedia Review regulars have managed to get banned
from Citizendium as well as Wikipedia in record time. It's entirely
unclear why they don't start their own wiki encyclopedia, and thus
demonstrate our evil and worthlessness.
It's perfectly clear why they don't: They're waiting for someone
else
to pay for the bandwidth. Since they would start from the premise that
their ideas would be very popular, they realize that this would be too
expensive. ;-)
