No, it's not. Have you ever wondered why I rarely edit at Wikipedia? it's
because I know that nobody will know that an article or paragraph was written
by me.
On our projects, such as
http://www.nerdypc.org , we give credit for every
contributed paragraph or section. We even allow our authors to choose what
licence they like (but contributing to an existing article means using the
same licences).
For example, see at
http://nerdypc.wikinerds.org/index.php/Zsync :
"[...] requests from the server on a second round-trip transmission. This
paragraph contributed by Antaeus Feldspar."
"[...] but the .zsync attribute file need not be on the same server as the
actual file. This paragraph contributed by ssd."
