I came across a wikipedia article (on gout) which had a lot of problems. It contained a fair bit of misinformation and was somewhat incoherent. I thought about trying to do a major edit and decided against it. Instead I contacted a well-known specialist from Harvard and suggested that he edit the page. He replied that he is interested but is wondering if he would be acknowledged for his contribution if he were to make one. Also, I wonder if he could just over-write an existing article and have some assurance that what he wrote wouldn't be reverted back to the existing version?

Thanks, John
