Hello everyone, The "R (programming language)" article in Wikipedia was nominated as a "Engineering and technology good article" but did *not* meet the good article criteria at the time (2010).
The reviewer at the time made two interesting comments about the article: - Sources are almost all (except for one NYT article) online wiki-type sources. These may be self-published, and may not be reliable sources. - The subject is treated in a non-neutral way by the authors. Heroically positive statements are made without proper sourcing, e.g. "R [is] the de-facto standard language for statistical analysis". *Can anyone suggest what academic-papers/news-articles have been made to cover the R language community and impact in a "neutral" way?* The only place that tries searching for such source, that I am currently aware of, is Robert Muenchen page: http://sites.google.com/site/r4statistics/popularity Which cites several sources, all of which could be said to be not-reliable sources (the R journal, mailing lists,...) Thanks.
