[Yechiel Robinson] Professionalism among amateurs?: These are difficult questions, and some people on Wikipedia question the motives of others, saying that a given user is "not here to write an encyclopedia." I perform a number of essential functions on Wikipedia, of which translating articles from Hebrew to English is the most prominent for improving content, but I also help in the administrative area of SSP despite not having the tools to block users.
