,,,when you register at Wikipedia they assigned you a sort of guide, a welcom wagon volunteer....mine was Buster7 and after my first note to him, on his user page, I was given a new guide by the name of "Tyrranus Mundi" which, as near as I can figure means "World Tyrant"...and this one denied my request that they change the last part of their article on Assyrians to incorporate the findings of Dr Joseph...he said to me that he denied my request because first there must be CONSENSUS among the wikivolunteers...so I said....

...Tyrannus Mundi (what an unfortunate name), you want a "consensus"? Among whom? Of what value is a consensus among people who don't know what they're talking about? This site has placed an Assyrian Nationalist in control who will permit nothing that doesn't support Assyrian Nationalist goals. He is an admitted amateur, like the rest of you (and how this is supposed to be a plus I can't figure out) who sees nothing wrong with ignoring scholarly work, recognized as such by major university libraries, real publishers and not the vanity-press; an expert called upon by the U.S. State Department whenever there is a call to understand what these "Assyrians" are talking about, in favor of "articles" written by people accomplished and licensed in OTHER fields, if any, none of whom could get a paying job teaching THIS subject. You would have demanded a consensus of amateurs before deciding Galileo had it right, except in this case we have actual books by actual historians and published academics telling us that there are NO modern day Assyrians except those who THINK they are and WISH they were. Evidence exists which, if allowed to appear, would show just why they are mistaken and how it all started, when and where and by whom. A consensus among scholars has validity...among partisans it only has partisan validity, which is to say, none at all... outside their own over-heated circle. And that's what you have here.
