[WikiEN-l] Another academic speaks

Tue Jul 1 16:08:34 UTC 2003

I'm not sure Steve's representation of academics who work on the 'pedia
is fair or accurate.  Contributions by what he called "deadwood" are
correctible - which is what lots of us do.  What makes academics leave
is when it becomes clear that popular opinion often outweighs merit, and
that many people see a (false, IMO, but supported by many) dichotomy
between high standards and open content.  

Cheers
