Stevertigo;
First, a correction: "And the opponents of the extremests may be biased as well" was what I wanted to say. (instead of "unbiased").
Where do you stand Tomos?
I'm not informed enough on this issue. And I don't think I can mediate that kind of open discussion. I have other things I can do better, too. But I didn't mean to stop you. I only hoped that maybe some cautions would help you to make better decisions and preparations on how to do what.
Or maybe they were to obvious to be helpful. (I don't know.) In any case, wish you a good luck.
Im curious - you included a link to a Lir issue... *perhaps* >suggesting
I wanted to remind you of that some say collaboration on wikipedia can be done even among those with opposite biases. Ed's posting was an example of it, as I understood.
I'm still learning about Lir stuff, (primarily to know how things could go and make use of that knowledge for Japanese wikipedia) so I didn't mean that kind of rich and subtle connotations that you smelled.
Though, of course, I think talking openly about each others biases among various hard-believers on a sensitive issue can turn into flame war or lingering conflicts among participants.
Anyway, getting to the bottom of the issue and producing a NPOV article would be a great achievement, and I am among the beneficiaries of such an article.
best,
Tomos
