It isn't necessary to go so far back. A large part of the important mathematics of the 1980s and 1990s does not appear in textbooks, or does so only implicitly, because there is little incentive for anyone to rewrite it. I believe the situation is similar in many areas of the humanities and social sciences. This has never meant that wikipedia does not want to include this work. - Carl _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
