George you wrote, re "at its zenith": "Perhaps, then, we should follow Fred and stop quibbling about that usage, especially as it's obvious what was intended there. " Not necessary. The nice thing about Wikipedia is that we don't have to worry about such quibbling. We can simply delete a phrase if it sounds wrong. And I see that Renee has already done just that (Ahoy, Renee. We had declared you MIA a few weeks back). The number one requirement for a Wikipedia article is references. If you want to create an article there that has some stability and gets respect, the best thing you can do is include copious references to published works and avoid refering to "independent research". That said, it's pretty easy. So just dive right in, George. Start editing. There's space "behind" each page to discuss the reasons for the changes you make and to explain them or defend them as you see fit. We could also discuss changes here on the list, but that might get redundant. -FER --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to NavList@fer3.com To , send email to NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
