And never will be, because one need not have any expertise whatsoever to contribute to articles.

The problem is that she's never done anything original. Many of her stunts can be traced back to feminist performance art of the 70s-80s. (I don't like her music but) I'd be more inclined to admire her if she could come up with something new.

I've seen this a couple of times, and I've tried to read up on it, but could you please explain what an at-will designation is? (Moi, je suis canadienne.)
