I am slightly concerned about referencing guidelines in that some forms of referencing that academics use may be forms of nationalism. I am a fairly new academic writer and have recently trained in McGill legal citation style which is a Canadian Legal studies standard. That said I have used the referencing guidelines at wikipedia and as someone who learned most of my web code by reading it on the web (i.e. Ian Steward of the U of T guidelines for html) I would suggest it just takes a little nose to the web window to get it right. I have started a few articles in the mathematics and psychology pages and found it much like writing for school but I was able to save my pages from deletion by scholarship after the fact unlike the traditional end of term school process. Is the founder of Wikipedia a porno capitalist? Did this fellow get rich with internet pornography? also visit www.anarchopedia.org for true anarchy in wikipedia this site has huge vandalism issues.

However, I do agree that editing procedures are cumbersome once you want to put in formatting, references, etc. Moreover, it's hard (for me) to find the guides for what to do, and when I do, the guides (as for Referencing) are not as clearly written as I'd like. We need _Wikipedia for Dummies_!
