Your proposal looks interesting...

...and is a good idea; expertese in Wikipedia is something I at least hadn't considered before. (A question, though: Do experts in your scheme gain any privelege, or is it simply a "mark of distinction"?)

But you should understand that there is a great deal of hostility and suspicion among many Wikipedians towards any proposal which creates more hierarchy among editors--especially on the content side (as opposed to the administrative side, admins and bureaucrats are now accepted features of the encyclopedia). And, I might add--Wikipedia is becoming more professional these days even without formal hierarchies; policy changes in the past year and a half have made it easier to get rid of trolls, crackpots, and POV-pushers, and undo their damage. Many of them are still here, but a cultural change is occuring here.

(This is one reason I haven't been involved in this debate for a while--working on articles is more productive.)

Anyway, good luck.

You are especially well-versed in En-Wikipedia policy, terminology, formatting, and etiquette. But if you prefer to not to disclose your former username, I will respect your privacy. Have a good one. — Satori Son 14:57, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
