Back to some basics of my argument, or proposal, or whatever it has become: I am not talking about 'experts'. If I see an edit has been made to an Article in WP I would like to be able go to that Article's History Page and see the 'source' (person) of that edit, with a User Name in Blue. Then, if I choose, I can go to that corresponding User Page and learn something about that editor - it really is that simple!
If their userpage is a red link or they're anon, that tells you something about them too ;-) As it is, IPs don't get no respect. Which is unfortunate, but statistically justifiable.
That said, people *still* don't believe that "edit this page" means them too. I try to encourage people to edit, saying we are very pleased to have just anyone fix typos, etc., without having to create yet another web page login to remember.
