Neither do I. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it
won't work for
the reasons that Magnus already gave. As the academic that I
believe myself to be, my motivation to write such a review would
be zero.
You may be right; I have no plans to act on the idea yet, I
just threw it out for comment. Magnus's alternative is more
in line with what Larry was suggesting, and that may be what
we have to do. But I see the problem there is this: if the
expert is charged with writing the article itself, what incentive
does he have to pay any attention whatsoever to the Wikipedia
content? Wouldn't he just write a whole new article that he
can claim authorship of, totally ignoring the /development/
process that went into the wiki content?
