You've had some replies now, Tyler. I'm interested to know whether
they have persuaded you or not?

The majority of us on this list are pretty devoted to the project but
most of us realise there's a vast population we need to convince
regarding the value of Wikipedia.

Have you tried looking at Wikipedia pages on subjects you're
interested in and/or are knowledgeable about? What did you think of
the articles? Did you at least value the list of references and
external links you found?
