Yet another example of the profound idiocy of "crowdsourcing" encyclopedia articles.
You have the WP bio of
Hans Bethe, legendary atomic scientist, Nobel winner.
8 notes, 3 references, total length 27034 bytes.
And you have the WP bio of a
fictional scientist on a sitcom,
Sheldon Cooper of
The Big Bang Theory.
75 references, total length 43670 bytes.
And no doubt, many of the Wiki-assholes reading this will go "that's perfectly acceptable".
Wait, so you mean that on the internet, people gravitate more to throwaway pop culture than actual science?
What amazing insight, Professor Barbour.
