[WikiEN-l] Encyclopaedia standards

[apw at ap-woolrich.co.uk]

The application of encyclopaedia standards must surely depend on the 
quality and experience of the editors. There does not seem to be a 
clear way of assessing this. I come to Wikipedia by way of writing 
for biographical dictionaries, working for a publisher of academic 
books, as well as researching and writing academic articles and books 
my field of the history of technology. I therefore automatically 
apply those standards to my contributions to Wikipedia. I can also 
apply those standards to pages which might need tweaking. When more 
editors with my kind of background can be persuaded to contribute on 
a regular basis then encyclopaedic standards will spread.
