This is a great thing, because it also showcases one of our strengths: 
We're becoming an authoritative source for summaries of consensus 
opinion.  A common way of doing that is to find a few authors who have 
made statements, like "according to Foo, spyware is 'blah'; according to 
Foo2, it's 'blah2'".  Wikipedia sort of collects and summarizes those 
sorts of things for them.

(For our good articles anyway. :-)
