I am familiar with the process of peer review as regards professional papers published in restrictive science journals. I am fascinated to see how a more open process evolves here at Wikipedia. Check out my blog at [http://modern-science.blogspot.com Modern Science]. My birthday is 26 January. I've been a user since 20 October 2003.
