Summary:

"Some principles of contributing to Wikipedia are the same as in publishing research (i.e. cite your sources); some quite the opposite (prestige will get you nowhere); and other elements ought to be as highly valued in the world of science (publishing with an open license allows collaboration and a better end product!).
