@RichardP That's not been my experience on Wikipedia Richard. If you substantiate your entry with publications, you can get reversions frozen as vandalism. This takes time and effort, no recognition for this type of activity from institutions, but I agree with Jo's point entirely - Wikipedia is the public face of science, not blogs. - AJCann

wikipedia -richard - then edit it back. the power of the crowd only works if there is a crowd - if scientists embraced this idea, it would stick - Jo Badge

Session ended. - Egon Willighagen

whereas the experience of wikipedia that I have (second-hand; the stories make me run away screaming) indicate that it is more or less impossible to get something _true_ on wikipedia if a wikitard has control of the article. It's just not worth the effort. - Richard P Grant
