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

Likewise, the entry for archivists is just a stub.

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 :)
