Thanks everyone for the various ideas. I will try to find people in the
geology project to look at stuff, and I have challenged the editor to
correct the citations well enough so that I can look at them, and I have
sent off for the referenced EIRs that are not listed anywhere on the web
or
county cites or corporate cites they are attached to. Some of the geology
information I already know is simply incorrect as it is high school
California geology, and the editor appears to have incorporated the
material
into a paper he wrote and is now referencing his own paper, strangely.
Problematically California geology is extremely complex and there are few
Wikipedia editors working on it, however, I will also try to shift the
burden to this editor to provide his references, not use his unpublished
work as references, and get people from various projects to look at it.
What? Since when was unpublished work admissible as a reference in the first
place? If it's not published, it's not accessible to other editors and
readers to crosscheck, and thus not an appropriate reference.
