Will somebody please go over to wikipedia and clean up the wind turbine article?

I've done what I could over in the discussion area, but somebody knowledgable needs to do a major cleanup in both discussion and in the main article.

 Thanks.

Here is a good article about Wikipedia, from the Onion.

HaHa;

Exactly why I split a gut when people cite wickedpedia as a source for information to support their position.

Just gives me a big old guffaw.

Cheers.

I agree -- BUT (big but, here) on a well-written article one can always go to the provided citations to support your position.  That's a little trick my thesis advisor taught me.

Problem is, on the wind turbine article, there are no usable citations.

I started on cleaning up that article a couple years ago, and it was too time consuming. The article was really bad! Then someone went in about 1 year ago and made some major improvements....it's at least mostly tolerable now. Maybe after I finish our book, I'll have time to edit it. It almost needs to be split into small-scale wind and utility-scale  wind.

TomW -- you are going to go apopletic when you see this (the major source is the wind wiki!)--- BUT with a careful read, it appears the author did a great job separating out the BS from the good stuff in that wiki.
