Indeed. It is best, some say, to concentrate on
what is most in demand
(either by what links here, or by searching Wikipedia for the term and
seeing how many articles mention it). I think 'missing articles' does
factor that in. Oh, and one way to enculture new editors is to help
them out on an article and if they talk back (many people are shy or
don't want to interact), then take things from there.
Possibly. It strikes me that one way to recruit smart specialists
would be to point them at the redlink list in their specialty. "We
have some idea how far we need to go."
Depends how cranky they get in a place like Wikipedia...
I wonder if
WikiTours would help? Charles should be able to point us
to the Meta Bus Tours that once existed. Maybe you remember those,
David? Some page on meta that gave timetables for a virtual bus
stopping at various central locations in Wikipedia.
I never really encountered them ...
Me neither.

They look a bit, well, touristy!
