Small suggestion re: author-focused information in the wiki

Hi Evan,

Looking good so far!

I just had a small suggestion about your wiki, and it relates to what Mariko suggested about using 'plain-language'. I've noticed a lot of your information is very focused on the prominent authors who write about power and archives, and while that would probably be a great approach for a research paper, perhaps it would be better (to stick with the 'plain language' suggestion) here to present their ideas without frequent reference to their names, and simply include them in the citations.

It's not often that you see a lot of direct references to exact authors in the text of the Wiki, so I think that while mentioning their prominence with regard to the subject of archives and power is a good idea, it might be best to steer clear of referring directly to them too much!

I would echo this observation and also suggest tweaking the tone of the entry. The wiki has many great ideas and at this stage reads very much like an academic essay. The conventional style for wikis is to make them more impartial. That is, more like an encyclopedia and less like an essay. For example, your introduction could start with higher level statements:

"Recent scholarship in archives have argued that archivists and archives weild substantial power through the records they manage and the role they play in society."

This, then, opens up a discussion of what is meant by power, how does it manaifest in archives, how can archivists exercise power, etc.
