newspapers and other "media", then compiling a readable scientific entry is impossible. Even quoting only scientific review papers is problematical.

Each Monday I am taking a stand against whoever it is who runs this show and doesn't care about editor retention.

Some of your editing attracted my attention. There are points of difference, but I like the cut of your jib. Also glad that you're back after being inactive for a while.
