The only thing I am lobbying you all against is
that we (a) make degrees a requirement of some sort
at any stage in the process
I would agree with this.
(b) and/or automatically value input from an
academic
more than input from a non-academic. I still think
it is obvious (to me anyway) that ''most'' of the
time academics will prevail with their views.
''But they will do so '''based on the merit of what
they say'' and NOT based on the recognition of their
title.''
I would agree with this as well. I do feel that someone
who spent four years in college and an additional two years
earning a master, or an additional three to seven years
earning a Ph.D. is much more likely to be worth listening
to. Wikipedia contributors, myself included, are a
self-selected bunch of Internet-advocates. Some of us are
very much worth listening to, while some are not.
Because unless you misread me I cannot understand how you can reply as
above and agree with me??
A very confused
