[WikiEN-l] Scientists told "publish in Wikipedia or else"

[Jay Litwyn]

Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do 
it. --Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

There might be a lot of academics touting one study or another as 
ground-breaking, making it GFDL and linking sixty subjects to it that are 
only tangentially relevant, then putting a lot of weight on WP:OWN, WP:COI 
and other anti-bias policy like WP:AWW. Who knows, really, how long any 
great influx of newbies might last or how productive such a call might be? 
Might get a wave of people who can fix up a whole sub-category in one 
sitting, too, if they're determined, and nobody does wholesale reverts for 
one persistent error.

I do not know who is on the internet to make it big.
Hopefully, they will give up.

If all spoke to all, then one word would be too much. Now way to force 
people into closely holding their e-mail address is polite. If some law says 
it's not spam, then it is, and it probably violates an acceptable use 
policy. If it doesn't, then some internet service provider is providing 
uncommon terms of service that are not acceptable to me. I vote to list them 
at http://www.rfc-ignorant.org/ Opt-out is a sentence of death to personal 
channels on the internet.
