Opinions and ideas are enhanced by the credentials, publications, attributions, and perceived 'reputations' of noted performers - those whose connections, resumes or achievements are widely chronicled and/or observed. "Opinions and ideas" promulgated by 'ordinary' individuals or groups may be insightful, additive to public discourse or study, or they may generate thought or fact disruptive of 'generally accepted expert' findings.

One means test into the motivation/knowledge/efficacy of 'expertise' may be the sources and amounts of compensation such 'producers' enjoy. Wealth equates with power in world affairs and mankind's perception of our specie's accomplishments, values and purpose. Wikipedia might greatly expand awareness and understanding by adding capital wealth and monetary compensation (sources and amounts) as a component of individual, group, and organization data. Noting the absence of transparency might be 'telling' in itself.
