I am uncomfortable with treating anything that has gone through a process of scholarly peer review as "just personal opinion." Period. Now, if it's an unreviewed journal that just publishes whatever it feels like, we run into more problems - then we have to start considering Professor Hausfleish on his own merits as a scholar, and look at how the piece compares to his other work. But peer-reviewed scholarship is not personal opinion. -Phil _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
