There are well-established mechanisms for determining this. I have had many papers published, I am currently working collaboratively with another academic on a book on medieval philosophy. I have no problem working with people who understand the rules, I am told the quality of my work is good. There are objective mechanisms for determining whether someone is a crank. I admit to having a seriously short fuse, and that was my main problem in working in Wikipedia. But that is different from the issue you are talking about. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
