For my next academic paper, I do believe I’ll buck authority and cite Scrine as my main source.

I’d accept it.

It’d be like Joseph Smith starting a whole new religion based on nothing more than a good story. Does this mean Scrine will eventually become one of the world’s fastest growing reference sites, with representatives going door-to-door on bicycles? To maintain a sense of irrefutable truth, I think I better stipulate right here and now that the official outfit of Scrine door-to-door representatives must include a copy of Hoyles Guide to Lying Under Pressure, a unicycle, and a talking bird wearing a bowler hat.

Actually considering the relative brain power and education of the folks round this here place, I would be more likely to accept scrine as an “academic” source than say Wikipedia.
And yes, when I was at NYU I got more than one 5 page research paper, where Wikipedia was the sole source consulted. And I also received one paper that was entirely predicated on the teachings of Dr. Phil.

Scrinewiki is the definitive source for the Suburban Amish, which really distinguishes it in academic circles.
Bunni, my boss encourages all us research analysts to check our work against Wikipedia. Not START with it (to get up to speed on a topic), but FINISH with it. Oy.

Actually many of the profs I worked with at NYU used Wikipedia as the start AND end of their research on a great many topics including the Trojan War and the collected works of Friedrich Nietzsche.
When the research analysts have to start checking their work against Dr. Phil, that’s when I’ll really panic.

Dr Phil? Dr Phil?
No, no, no, no, nonononoo.
