MAV penned (condensed): ""We are talking about creating a stable version of the articles.Nupedia
would be a stable distribution of that content that has been checked by experts.....I have a baccalaureate degree in biology but that doesn't mean I'm staking my reputation on anything I write in the biology section as 'maveric149.' But if I am checking facts in a biology article submitted to Nupedia I /will/ be staking my reputation on the factual accuracy of the article. ....As an added bonus Wikipedia gets an article whose facts have been checked by somebody who should know what they are talking about. There is no such stamp of approval on Wikipedia
articles now. ...I'm the type of person who likes to use stable distributions. """
POINT BY POINT REFUTATION:
1. Stable version is a euphemism for "selected for quality" a brilliantly disguised elitism that, if seen for what it is -- leads to a direct conflict with FDL.
2. Quote: "MY reputation" - so its about YE, now is it Mr. Maverick?) 3. It may be, Mav -- that if you were concerned with "stable distributions" and 'staked reputations' that YOU may have been "involved with the wrong project" from the get-go.
Wink, wink. -S-
