Never liked the idea of wikipedia...Hitler could have posted articles on how destructive Jews are, what a terrible religion they have and how Europe must deal with them...all with footnotes and sources from other fools like himself...here´s what they say about themselves.... Wikipedia has no editorial board. Revisions are not reviewed before they appear on the site. Content is not the result of an editorial decision by the Wikimedia Foundation or its staff. ...no editors...no peer-review...no nothing. You write what you want and, if you´re not brain-dead, you fluff up your opinions by attaching a lot of actual articles and excerpts, complete with SOURCES and BIBLIOGRAPHY, so that your opinions appear more high-minded than they are...all of it is just window dressing to disguise your personal opinions as also fact-based. ..Parpola can make whatever statements he likes on wikipedia...and no doubt he prefaces everything by listing his real and actual achievements as a scholar of ancient Assyrian history...but then, when he moves on to discuss how modern day Assyrians really do exist and how Christianity derived directly from the Assyrian religion, he´s no longer an expert...but he doesn´t say that and few people would remind him that he´s just a well-educated amateur who has gone looking for what he LIKES...and uses his academic standing in one field to give himself authority in a totally different field. ..I may be an expert on early American history up to the Civil War...but that gives me no standing, as a scholar, on events in the Second World War. Of course I can have opinions, even educated well-founded and compelling ones...but still, it is not my professional field and if I am found to be against the tide of expert opinion, then I have even less standing....Dr Joseph is the expert in this field, not Parpola...and Dr Joseph can and has destroyed Parpola´s opinions. --------------------- |
