Florence, 

"Professionals", or, as they are also referred to, "experts" don't get much
of a welcome in the Project. I know, I'm one of them. My professional :-)
guess is that it is fear by the larger Community that they will somehow take
over. This is unfortunate thinking. And I believe it is having a negative
effect on the overall depth and quality of the encyclopedia.
