First, I'm simply surprised that there aren't more people who publish articles about Shakespeare (or any other topic) and run to add its summary to the relevant article. It's supposed to be good for them, because it gives them and their research (and their opinions!) more exposure, and it's supposed to be fine for Wikipedia, because they add information which can be referenced in a peer-reviewed journal. Second, maybe it's not that bad that not everything ends up on Wikipedia. If they publish it in freely-accessible journals, it's perfectly well-aligned with Wikimedia's goals - people should have access to information and it doesn't have to happen through wikipedia.org. -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com “We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.
