Has anyone taken a look at the wikipedia entry for preservation issues
lately?  It's a mess.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preservation_Issues

Likewise, the entry for archivists is just a stub.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archivist

I'd love to see some of the list regulars get in on promoting our profession
by expanding some wikipedia articles.  Changing articles is easier than
you'd think, and your changes need not be large - if everyone added a
sentence or two, or tweaked the language around a bit, it might help people
understand what we do better.  And maybe we could get people to stop using
the word "archival" improperly :)
