My uncle just started editing Wikipedia and ran into that problem. My
uncle is a former Yale Sanskrit and Eastern Philosophy professor, as
well as a Hindu priest. One of the smartest people I know, as well as
one of the most knowledgeable. Speaks Sanskrit fluently. The idiots
were arguing with everything he was adding to the Hinduism-related
articles, even though he was citing properly. Some of the questions
were to the effect of, "Which translation are you using?" to which the
response was, "No translation. I was reading the manuscripts themselves."
He gave up after a while. I believe his exact words were, "I suppose
I'll leave them to their ignorance."
Peace... Sridhar
