There is no ideal Wikipedia editor. Just the average ordinary people who happen to be enthusiastic about (non-paid) volunteering, collaborating, and writing a free encyclopedia.
Trust me. There's a will, there's a way. You need not have special properties, just belief. A belief, in the ultimate power of the internet: delivering free knowledge.

They should have a lot of time, patience, and self-control!

They should have enough time on their hands.
