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. The values and goals of academic experts in a field are in direct contradiction to ours. Experts expect to be paid, and they expect to have complete control over their work, as well as authorship rights. I for one will not be deferring constantly to some nosy and policy-ignorant academic when writing our articles. Of course, I'm of the firm belief (having given talks on Misplaced Pages to college professors personally) that this will not draw the kind of interest needed from experts to make it live. Misplaced Pages has been successful to date based on dedicated volunteers, not elitist experts. VanTucky 18:28, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
