User:Superlocrian

Hello Wikipedia. I have for a long time been "anti Wikipedia" due to the open contributor format, which of course allows any person, for example, to write an article on any subject. It is true that a little knowledge is often a dangerous thing, and when faulty information is disseminated into the mainstream via this website, it is truly a shame. I would much rather learn about a subject from the Professor rather than the student who made a "C" in the course.

With that spirit in mind, I have recently, (and reluctantly) adopted the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mantra, and will contribute at least sparingly to articles within my field, as time permits.

If you are currently reading a music article and have stumbled upon my user name, I urge you to go to the New Grove Dictionary of Music or the Harvard Dictionary of Music rather than read Wikipedia. You will find the information much more scholarly and reliable.
