In theory, absolutely. Anyone can edit Wikipedia. In reality, it's a bit of a closed system with its own language and culture, and outsiders doing edits are not well looked upon. Thanks David.

I recently met a group of tweeters who I saw as another character to my normal peer group/cohort. I'd be tempted to call them Generation C (for cynical) but I also know others of their age who are more Generation Y (for Y bother). Maybe these are just spurious tags for a relatively meaningless psychographic segmentation.
