Simon is right, someone other than just us ought to be editing this entry.
I have just done some work in Wikipedia to try and improve the structure
and the coverage of the DC entry. But it would be a huge help if someone
outside of the small admin group were to go to
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Classicist> and make sure that the
language of the page is sufficiently neutral (not like advertising),
that all statements made are sourced (add footnotes if necessary), and
that the whole thing makes sense and reads like an encyclopedia. Don't
be afraid to make major changes if you think they are warranted.
Thanks,
Gabby
