And that attitude goes back to its roots. It's evident, however, that Citizendium's alternative approach has been a resounding failure, whereas Wikipedia wouldn't be a top 10 site if it wasn't actually useful to people. So the question becomes: how to get more expert oversight in? That said, any hypothesis claiming Wikipedia is fundamentally expert-hostile needs to account for the fact of the startling quantities of experts actually here and contributing. You can hardly move on Wikipedia without bumping into someone with a doctorate. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
