That's not my experience---hundreds, if not thousands, of Wikipedians 
are experts in a variety of fields.  I'm a PhD student in one field, and 
will presumably still be a Wikipedian when I have my PhD (and am already 
an expert in some sub-areas).  I know professors, graduate students, 
lawyers, game developers, engineers, and a variety of other 
professionals and experts who edit Wikipedia.  In fact I'm often 
surprised by how often I recognize the names of Wikipedians from elsewhere.
