To most of the
English speaking world an "Editor" does something
mostly different from what an editor does on Wikipedia. Contributor is
the correct word, and is the only description Wikipedians should be
using when describing their position with the project to outsiders
(the press, for example).
True. "Information wanted"?
Wrong.
You can make a house out of bricks, but a pile of bricks does not make a
house.
You can make knowledge from information, but a pile of information does
not make knowledge.
What's Jimbo's famous quote? "Imagine a world where the sum of human
knowledge was available to everyone in their own language - that's what
we're doing"?
"Anyone can edit" is misleading. "You could be part of"?
