Such strong labeling of the goals and make-up of
this group wishing to work on a Medical Encyclopedia for Children really needs to be supported by some evidence. Especially as I don't believe they are participating in this conversation and therefore unable to clarify. I am afraid I don't speak German, but I would like to see what I can gather from machine translation if you would please direct me to the proper links.
A number of times I said that I don't have anything
against
professional-driven efforts. If it is so, it would
mean that they are
able make a valid scientific elaborate about their
project, too.
One more point: It is not about me to prove that potential project doesn't have relevant scientific basis, but it is about project proposers to prove that they have.
I am not asking you to prove anything about this project. I just want to know where you got the idea that this proposal can be accurately summarized as a " Wikipedia fork with dumb language" and that the proto-contributors are biased adults with an ideological agenda. I don’t recall ever seeing a link to the actual proposal in this thread and I am wondering where you have read discussion and ideas of these Germans who are interested in contributing to a Medical Encyclopedia for Children.
I can't help but wonder if you have an accurate understanding of what is being proposed. I would like to read their ideas for myself rather than accepting your characterization at face value.
I am only asking for links to the discussion of this proposal. Not links that prove/disprove the scientific basis of anything.
