Sorry I saw this late!

[chardmonster]

I consider myself a historian already--I have a masters in the subject and I'm going to defend my dissertation this fall. So I consider myself an expert on my particular field based on having formal training and being acknowledged as one by people with more experience than myself. Basically I base it on

1. Formal training
2. A lot of experience
3. Acceptance by other experts

You can replace 1 with a whole lot of 2--I wouldn't say a local history person who happens not to have had formal schooling but knows the ins and outs of the field and has been working for years doesn't count as a "real expert." However you can't really replace #3.

However, please note that "expert" is just a sort of informal certification. Someone not being an "expert" doesn't mean they don't know a whole lot.

This is a good distinction. Though, to be fair, I think a lot of it can be circumstantial, especially in regards to formal training, but even regards to the "acceptance by experts" bit because both acceptance and experts sort of need defining on their own. Generally, if you're involved and familiar with the literature in your field (I don't think just being familiar with the primary sources is enough), and have a publication under your belt, that helps.
