==Original discussion from [[UserTalk:Aschlafly]]==

I bring this up as a topic of discussion, not a criticism.  I wonder if ASchlafly needs to consider reconciling the goals of this site in regards to its format.  A wiki is an inherently democratic format...anyone can contribute, and errors are theoretically diluted as more and more people become involved.  Over time, experts' edits will outnumber those of vandals and non-experts.  The stated goals here, based on what is explicitly written and what has taken place in edits, appears to be less democratic, with an agenda being set from the top down.  ASchlafly insists on expert opinion, but when it disagrees with his worldview, he edits articles which fall out of his own expertise.  I do not mean in any way to impugn his morals or objectives, but perhaps a wiki is not the best format for him to accomplish his needs.  If he wants an online extension of his textbooks, wiki is definitely a poor format to use.  IMHO.
