This is not to voice opposition to contributing to Wikipedia (actually, I
have added a few things on Korean Buddhism), but would-be contributors
should be aware that anything you add can be deleted, cut, pasted, and
changed by anyone in the world who feels like it. I have already seen this
happen to a couple of things that I spent a bit of time on. The changes
were done by persons obviously possessing no academic background at all.
This has discouraged me considerably from making further efforts.
