Larry & All,

We should not have to make up new rules for resolving disputes,
as the norms that seasoned researchers and responsible scholars
already observe in practice will serve us as well as any maxims.

The problems that constantly flare up in Wikipedia come from the
circumstance that unseasoned editors and irresponsible pundits
sought to win their points and obliterate the very expression
of other sources of information any way that they could do so.

This in itself would not have been impossible to moderate
if it were not for a prevailing attitude of management
that poured gasoline on every book-burning that arose.

Deal with that, and the rest is do-able.

Jon Awbrey
