You're right--and I guess this issue brings us down to the fundamental rhetorical question asked by Larry Sanger: does Wikipedia tolerate academic(s| opinions)? The answer tends to be no--because some people, who tend to be the most vocal people and ironically seem to have the most time on their hands, have got it into their heads that years of study don't help someone to become more knowledgeable and to produce better scholarship. Perhaps there's an underlying issue that needs to be solved here. --Thomas Larsen _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
