Why is Eric Lerner's entry marked with "His level of expertise is controversial" with a link to a page of complaints by astrophysicists? Even if those are indeed errors (which is not a given), last I checked this was a list of plasma physicists, not of astrophysicists. Since no plasma physicist mentions any errors on his part in the field of plasma physics, that sentence must be removed, together with the link. (And even if one makes a wild assumption of him making errors in the field of plasma physics, of which I'm unaware, this is no grounds to blackmouth someone's level of expertise. All scientists make mistakes every now and then. Otherwise, we would have never seen multiple hypotheses formulated on the same subject.) Leokor (talk) 19:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
