[WikiEN-l] Arbitration Committee Seeking Comment

Mon Jun 6 15:43:26 UTC 2005

I think we are thinking about creating a committee to consider  
whether there is published authority for information, popular or  
unpopular. Beyond that it might consider the reputation and  
credibility of the source, but first it must pass the threshold of  
whether it exists at all. There is also the question of whether it is  
reasonably convenient to access it. For example, a NYT's article  
might cost 2 bucks but something that requires accessing Nexus or  
consulting an obscure journal is much more expensive.
