This appears to be the objections of someone who thinks an encyclopedia is a journal in the field, or should work like one. As WJohnson has pointed out, Wikipedia is not a venue for academic self-promotion either. You can hardly move on Wikipedia without tripping over experts in whatever topic you're editing. Why are there any experts on Wikipedia? - d. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
