Anyone can be a contributor, right? So why don't they have a list of contributors? Contributors don't have to list their sources, necessarily--THEY are the source. Not everyone knows exactly how/why they know something, sometimes they have just always known it. Not everything you know came from a published source. Anyway, why DOESN'T Wikipedia list contributors? If the info seems inaccurate I guess a contributor could always change it, but it would be nice to be able to contact the original contributor in case the second person's info is actually inaccurate. Not sure if that makes sense.
