We were getting off-topic over there at Talk:Evolution. I'm not sure what your specific complaint is. Surely non-experts can contribute to articles in some ways and experts don't need to have their holy authority worshipped at every turn? If it's the creationist vandalism that you're thinking of, that's a separate issue, but I'm sure an encyclopedia article on Evolution can benefit from the input of creationists in order to properly address the social effects of evolution's ideas. As for language, again we have to remember that this is an encyclopedia, not a textbook. I've been trying to push for an explicitly technical version of the article, which an encyclopedia like Misplaced Pages has the luxury of providing through its virtually unlimited space. I hope you don't find it too personal for me to allude to your rollerderby and accordion interests that I came across during a quick Googling. Gnixon 22:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
