Collaborative wiki - botanists needed

In message . com, writes I am a physicist. Why would you say that? Scientists have opinions, just like everyone else. They're quite likely to incorporate their opinions in the Wiki, rather just the facts. Restricting input to scientists won't avoid errors; it'll just get you a better class of error. For example, how many planets are there in the solar system? (My preferred answer is 15, but you can make a case for all sorts of numbers.) When it comes to biologists you'll find all sorts of disagreements on taxonomy. Depends what you classify as a "biologist" ;-) -- John S. Wilkins, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biohumanities Project University of Queensland - Blog: evolvethought.blogspot.com "He used... sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and... satire. He was vicious." |
