However, I specifically chose this topic because it's good to have at least some basic knowledge

You know, I once wrote articles for the Ukrainian section of Wikipedia. I deliberately chose not the topics of the articles where I am a specialist, but those where I know nothing, but I was interested to learn.

Thus, large and thorough articles about the ancient state of Pergamum, the Hun Empire, epoxypropane and several dozen other articles appeared in Wikipedia. So I think your approach is very correct.
