You see, this is exactly where No Original Research falls flat on its face. The required competency for checking Henry's math would pass as "doing research" to most Wikipedian authorities. My own experience editing Wikipedia is similar to Henry's. After trying, unsuccessfully, to remove some clearly bogus pseudo-science (clearly bogus by several standard textbooks) from a physics article, I cited anotherWikipediaarticle that (clearly and obviously to me) disagreed with the first. I was told, by a "senior editor", that there was no way that they could enforce that articles be consistent with each other. On June 3, 2012 at 10:59 AM Henry Baker <hbaker1@pipeline.com> wrote:
Just check the math, and if it is correct, allow it.
