Hi Tomos! Your second idea is lovely. I also would love to recommend
a number of interested academics as commenter of some sort -- as long
as their comments would be guaranteed some respect, and would not be
edited and changed by others. We could set this up as a separate site
eternal to WP, but it would make more sense to have it integrated with
the existing project...
I wouldn't even encourage such academics to contribute themselves; it
is far more respectful of their time to accept commentary and have
other editors integrate those comments, cope with resulting flame wars
and philosophical disagreements, etc.
3) I am an academic my self, but I have to admit that
I am a bit hesitant to recommend
some Wikipedias to some of my colleagues. It is because of trolling, flaming, edit war,
and and other wild behaviors that are not for newcomers if they expect warm and
respectable
