Correct as far as it goes. But more to the point is that until WP editing looks good on a CV, no academic worth having will give it the attention.

I recently got a new job. On my CV under "Interests" I listed Wikipedia. We chatted about it at the interview. (I said "it's good to pub quiz level, but the technical and computer stuff tends to be very good and comprehensive indeed." Which I think it is, generally.) I got the job :-)

(Sysadmin at a financial information publisher, not academic. But anyway.)
