reviewing to a generalist site. As if hordes of geeks that know nothing or little of RNA biology can bring something in the scientific discussion.
I find this comment both revealing and insulting.
It was not intended as insulting, and you did not specify to whom it is insulting and why.
I may rephrase this as follows: I believe the job of Wikipedia is not to create results, but to put them into a social and historical perspective, and reveal to the general reader the relations between pieces of knowledge. To do this, not being a specialist is not a problem, on the contrary. This actually corresponds to the first job of a junior scientist: Bibliography search.
