All these arcane acronyms: SPA, AfD, blah, blah. As I said, Wikipedia is too complicated. It has too many rules. Only fanatics will bother to master this complex set of rules and procedures. Conventional academic publishing does have rules. It has procedures based on long established traditions. They are simpler than Wikipedia's rules. Granted, Wikipedia's rules are partly about the Internet. Things like "three revisions." But I get the impression that most of the rules are about the administrative structure of Wikipedia, which I think is too complicated and opaque. - Jed
