I, of course, am writing from my own personal experience.  It was the  
appallingly inaccurate and often racist material in articles related  to black 
people that brought me to Wikipedia in the first place.   Another factor 
contributing to crappy article quality is related to  the heavily skewed demographics of 
project participants in terms of youth and  ethnicity.
 
But that's nothing new.
 
And no doubt, Charles -- but the editorial quality of traded  messages here 
is hardly cause for concern -- and is certainly not even  a subject of 
productive discussion.
