cphoenix <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #5 from cphoenix <[email protected]> 2012-01-22 23:15:27 UTC --- Your goal is noble, but one needs to deal with realities of the internet. Comment sections under articles will undoubtedly be flooded with inane, sometimes pointless comments, just like the rest of internet, on blogs, news articles, etc. They won't be turned into bastions of peer-to-peer communication by experts in the field that article relates to. They'll be turned into a hot mess of comments from everyone else. What's worse, is that any iteration of these things tends to be a nightmare for administrative management, and difficult to search effectively. If your goal is to set-up a way for peers in fields related to a particular article to communicate, I would suggest hooking into some other medium, like forums discussing the subject. Let those scientists talk and discuss some other way, say by linking to a relevant page under "See also". To implement comments under every Wikipedia article, and expect them to be used for anything more than inane, redundant banter and spam between people who don't understand the topic of the article well (or worse, on already controversial articles, opening the floodgates to vandals) is naive at best. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
