I will add that book reviews, which once followed a consistent formatting practice, have turned into so much useless drivel in too many cases. In the past, Amazon allowed rebuttal posts to books but ended that for reasons unknown. Now, a "review" can be the same as an online post. "It was boring." "Stopped reading at page 56." and so on.

Expert commentary is much more rare than I would like. This needs to change in some meaningful way. Posts on any specialist site, including here, tend to get lost. It is not uncommon to see questions asked here that were answered years ago. All the poster failed to do is to use the search function.

Whether one refers to books or youtube videos, standards should always exist. This as opposed to an unknown person cobbling together anything ranging from total fiction to some facts. A real TV documentary includes mention of all involved in the credits at the end. Real people with real names that could be contacted by those inclined to do so.

I propose a massive, highly cross-referenced database. Wikipedia is owned by persons unknown. Anyone unaware of this needs to know that while it can be a starting point, I never use it for anything else in my research.

So, something structured, something easily searchable and something vetted by experts. The alternative is random posts by unknown individuals that usually fall into the mostly uninformed category followed by the illogical and poor reasoning category.
