Imagine a Wikipedia constantly patrolled by academics. Can you do it? Well, someone has, and they've made it look like this.

Scholarpedia, a peer-reviewed version of wikipedia (whatever the hell that means... isn't wikipedia, in a sense, peer-reviewed?). Currently, the Linguistics section seems to be written by Mark Arnoff and "peer-reviewed" by his longtime collaborator Wendy Sandler, both of whom I have respect for but hardly what I would call a balanced peer-review process.

Where are all the linguists at? It's not like we have anything better to do...

(I remembered to use the 'linguistics' tag for the first time on this blog... lame)
