[edit] Tag as Unbalanced
Mario Alinei is the proponent of distinctly minority points of view: on the methods of historical linguistics, on the Uralic languages, on Etruscan, and on European archaeology and prehistory. I don't feel that this article, as it currently stands is balanced, in that fails to mention that most specialists on these subjects, almost without exception, reject Alinei's ideas. The difficulty, however, is that Alinei is so almost universally regarded as unserious, that hardly anyone reliable ever bothers to say so. I feel that links to Alinei's own material should be reduced, references to the handful of criticisms of Alinei that exist should be found and added, and a summary of what is thought to be wrong with Alinei's ideas added to the article.
