I think one area where Wikipedia is not yet faring too well is in the fine arts section (painting, ballet, architecture, drama, music, etc). Of course exceptions exist. Just a gut feeling, no time to dig into it now.

I filled a few gaps myself: articles on Rembrandt, van Gogh, Dutch Golden Age and a few others in that area were non existent or very meagre a few monthes ago. This in itself says enough. If these articles were in a bad shape until recently, it means we are still charting the tip of the iceberg, we are talking mainstream household name fine arts in these cases.

If my assumption is well founded, we might discuss how to attract more Wikipedians from art schools, schools of music and the like.

P.S. I checked: the article about Rembrandt dates from Oct 2002, not exactly a few monthes ago, still Wikipedia was almost 2 years old then.
