Larry,

>Why do you want to know?

FWIW, I would usually like to know who created a wiki document because it may help me to get a clue about the motivations or perspective of the person who starts the article, especially if it's an extensive one like MikeF's.

For the sake of example, I'll use Mike's document, although I've not yet read it, just to illustrate how I might analyze someone's argument. If I know, for instance, that he markets a commercial framework, I would read the document with that in mind. While not automatically discounting what he says, I may think, "OK, I see why he might think that...", etc.

If the argument being made directly benefits sales of someone's product, as I have seen by others in posts here previously, I'd probably tend to take a more skeptical view, while not completely writing off their points. I guess I've been a salesman and a newsman long enough to look for the slant in anything being presented.

Now I'd better go read the wiki stuff... :-)
