The Wikipedia philosophy can be summed up thusly: "Experts are scum." For some reason people who spend 40 years learning everything they can about, say, the Peloponnesian War -- and indeed, advancing the body of human knowledge -- get all pissy when their contributions are edited away by Randy in Boise who heard somewhere that sword-wielding skeletons were involved. And they get downright irate when asked politely to engage in discourse with Randy until the sword-skeleton theory can be incorporated into the article without passing judgment. Lore Sjöberg, "The Wikipedia FAQK"
”
Of course, what is always missed by this point of view, is that any expert can't just "know" something is true; they must demonstrate it through the use of reliable sources. Which they should have on hand, should be easily able to reference, and should be extremely scholarly. So nyah, keep yer panties on, world.

I usually don't do e-mail; if it's about wikipedia use my talk page.
I like science and am interested in fringe topics; this generally translates into debunking the wikipedia pages.
Functionally this page is basically a messy sandbox for sources. I love my privacy so you won't find out stuff about me. For crap I've found useful, you are welcome to peruse the useless nightmare that is my forbidden divbox of mystery.
