You misunderstand.  Any technical article is exactly as accurate/deep
as the person with the most skill or knowledge who comes across the
article *and* cares about the content of the article can possibly make
it.   If it doesn't measure up to your standards, either that's a
temporary situation, or you don't care that it doesn't measure up (or
it has been sabotaged -- but that's temporary too).  Its that simple --
there really aren't any other possibilities.

I don't pull punches in my edits just because it might be beyond what
the reader is looking for.  You just have to avoid "original research"
level content (because they don't have a way of weeding out "crackpot
theories").  Just stuff that's widely accepted, or technically correct.

Remember, as long as you care, there is never a good reason why any
content on Wikipedia should be below your own knowledge.  It has
nothing to do with "laymen expertise" or anything like that.  Its as
deadly accurate as is possible and is necessary -- and it should be
nothing less.
