Agree to disagree. A good thing indeed. The longer I work on 356s, the less I know. ..............Jim.

Re: A Small Idea with Huge Benefit
You're right: it is difficult to prove a negative. I would like to see evidence of the positive: persistent junk in an article. Make it a few articles to be fairer.Ron LaDow wrote:If you truly believe that, I encourage you to start providing evidence, but I can't imagine how you could possibly ever prove that claim.Edwin Ek wrote:Brian,Vandalism on Wikipedia can't last long or be pervasive, because I have never seen it.
I am curious. Do you really think this crowd, which skews older, has spare time to participate, has lots of mechanical knowledge and experience, and doesn't shy away from debate, would let errors stand?

You seem confident there will always be clear and obvious winners in the inevitable debates, and that a consensus will naturally always be reached. I find your optimism refreshing, but almost inexplicably ingenuous.Edwin Ek wrote:

No naivete here, rather some experience and small wisdom. What you describe is of course not a novel problem. One common solution is to show differing opinions or ideas. They usually have attribution- the authors are mentioned.
