The other side of the coin in this quixotic quest of yours is :
1) The mistakes also will be around for a long time
2) Neither does attempting to redefine "Research"
Booger, the reason for listing sources is to provide a map for the reader to
follow if they are so inclined, a clue to what you looked at and where you
looked. It also provides for independent verification of facts,maybe
another interpretation or meaning , to fill in the gaps, perhaps you used
an outdated source or a new discovery was made since you last checked your
facts. etc. etc. blah, blah, You get the idea here I'm sure.
I do not believe in reinventing the wheel but the "cut and paste" of
someone else's work is not research, neither is it ethical. Regardless of
how much you intersperse it and change the order. It would have been so
much easier to cut and paste your sources as you "research" them than it
would have type up such lengthy defenses. I do not care the reason why. I
just want to see verifiable information, if you cannot say what your source
is or where you got it your information then it has to be treated as
suspect, pending verification. Which leads to the next point, verification.
This last "list" you presented has too many mistakes in "translating" these
dish names. It has some significant errors, much more than the usual number
expected. Again why researchers review sources. So the last critique here
is you need to concentrate on quality work, not quantity, go back and fix
your mistakes then move forward. We do not have to fix your mistakes nor
placate you while you are on your "mission". Do it right the first time and
perhaps learn something new about cooking and butchering along the way. I
would much rather read some original work of yours than some questionable
regurgitation from some travel webpages.
