And this works in practice, too. --] (]) 20:11, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I hate this

Whomever is behind this seems to have forgotten something: Misplaced Pages relies on reliable published sources, not expert personal ones. A project like this, if active, is sure to bring about some self-important expert from academia who wants to add or remove content in contradiction to source materials.

Experts expect to be paid, and they expect to have complete control over their work, as well as authorship rights.
