Wikipedia founder admits to serious quality problems
Quote:Encouraging signs from the Wikipedia project, where co-founder and überpedian Jimmy Wales has acknowledged there are real quality problems with the online work.

Criticism of the project from within the inner sanctum has been very rare so far, although fellow co-founder Larry Sanger, who is no longer associated with the project, pleaded with the management to improve its content by befriending, and not alienating, established sources of expertise. (i.e., people who know what they're talking about.)

Re: Wikipedia founder admits to serious quality problems
I hate to bash Wikipedia. I check it all the time, but I'll be sure to cross reference anything that appears fishy.

A "related" article concerns me more:
"The lamentable truth about the mind-expanding claims for the internet has finally been revealed - people do not use the bottomless well of knowledge to advance themselves, preferring instead to indulge in casual surfing related to hobbies and music."
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/09/30/...g_failure/

I did a search to see the number of expected daily hits for "Paris Hilton" versus "Napoleonic Wars." I think the number was 180,000 versus 18, so something like that. It drives me to drink. :animal040:

Wikipedia tightens rules following false article
Quote: Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia to which anyone can contribute, is tightening submission rules after a prominent journalist complained that an article falsely implicated him in the Kennedy assassinations.

Wikipedia will now require users to register before they can create articles, Jimmy Wales, founder of the St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Web site, said Monday. People who modify existing articles will still be able to do so without registering.
