Linea 38:
::Yes, I can well believe that. "I do not want to get my Latin spoiled ..." is an attitude that existed long before Vicipaedia; it explains why some Latinists don't like to read, or won't teach their students from, the Vulgate or the Bayeux Tapestry or medieval Latin texts. It has to do with the pre-19th century idea of language change as corruption, I think ... It's a viewpoint that may be on the decline now, even among Latinists. <font face="Gill Sans">[[Usor:Andrew Dalby|Andrew]]<font color="green">[[Disputatio Usoris:Andrew Dalby| Dalby]]</font></font> 13:42, 25 Martii 2008 (UTC)
:::In general Wikipedia isn't widely accepted in academic culture yet, although it is quickly becoming a standard resource. Most physics professors for instance wouldn't admit they contribute to physics wikipedia articles, but postdocs and graduate students do. Thus I think it is a matter of time. In particular for latin, many of our articles are incredible resources for starting investigations into different latin language topics.Also I think as the content and reputation of Vicipaedia improves, more people who are good latinists will be willing to contribute. --[[Usor:Rafaelgarcia|Rafaelgarcia]] 13:59, 25 Martii 2008 (UTC)
::::I think you're overestimating the number of Classicists who can write Latin. There's no premium put on Latin composition, as a skill, in most graduate programs. As to not wanting to have their Latin spoiled, it's transparent, or rather opaque, BS. One might as well claim one doesn't want to read professional journals in Classics so as not to have one's command of English spoiled. [[Usor:Jackmitchell|Jackmitchell]] 14:53, 25 Martii 2008 (UTC)
