RAT goes Wikipedia - A proposal

[Robert Vermaat]

The article Mike Bishop wrote for Wikipedia would stay Mike Bishop's article, for example. The Economist can get away without attribution, but my preference is for signed authorship, even if 'amateurs'.

Mine is too Rich, but my point was - which author is to be selected as 'the' authority for any article. Other authors may very well have problems with the choice of 'just one' author. This is how list wars start, and it may do nothing for the credibility of a source to have accredited authors shy away from it because of the exclusion of multiple voices.

Besides, many accredited authors and scholars may well feel they have better things to do, since accredited papers with references cost a lot of time to produce. Also, they may want to receive a fee for the publication of their work.
And are these articles to be free of copyright?
