	Bibliotheke » Blog Archive » Nature: Wikipedia and Britannica accuracy compared
		Say you want some quick information on whales and even a quick list of species in the order cetacea with links to information on each species, nothing really compares to wikipedia’s combination of organization, ease of use and fairly detailed entries.
		This is not the first comparison with similar results (here’s one from Freedom to Tinker) and there have been other examples of Britannica& errors.

	Software patent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first software patent ever granted is probably a patent for a "computer having slow and quick access storage, when programmed to solve a linear programming problem by an iterative algorithm, the iterative algorithm being such that (...)" applied for in 1962 by British Petroleum Company ([3], see end of page 3).
		Software patents and patents on computer-implemented inventions (CII) are a class of patents and one of many legal aspects of computing.
		The national jurisdictions relating to software patents in Europe and in the European Union are not harmonized even though some harmonization has been brought into the national jurisdictions in the 1970s and 1980s.

	Reports/Older reports - Meta
		There was a brief discussion on the Malay wikipedia on the possibility of merging with the Indonesian wikipedias.
		Since beginning of november, french people have to cope with someone "vandalising" the wikipedia, every day, for about 6 to 8 hours a day, which basically prevent doing any other administrative task.
		It did not help the issue, that a couple of french contributors were openly anti-cult and quick to heat topics.

	The Indonesian Writing System
		In essence, the history of the Indonesian writing system is the same as that for Malay.
		Like standard Malay, modern Indonesian is written using the 26-letter Latin alphabet.

	Talk:International logo vote (archive) - From Meta; discussion about Wikimedia projects
		But things are proceeding quick, japanese wikipedia is currently receiving massive newcomers due to a major press coverage, and there is very few (well, virtually only me) who informs others of inter-lingual/project-wide issues.
		One thing is the personal preference of masses of people, the other is a professional decision which logo would be best for wikipedia, meaning best at modern needs of advertising and become more known.
		And my assumption is that we should take this voting and selection process seriously -- respect the expressed preferenecs of the voters (to the extent they seems to reflect the will of the all wikipedias), and value unity among this diverse wikipedians (to the extent it is achievable).

	Wikipedia
		wikipedia's slogan is "The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." It is developed using a type of software called a "wiki", a term originally used for the WikiWikiWeb and derived from the Hawaiian wiki wiki, which means "quick." Jimmy Wales intends for wikipedia to achieve a "Britannica or better" quality and be published in print.
		In addition, some critics have suggested that wikipedia cannot justifiably be called an "encyclopedia", a term which (it is claimed) implies a high degree of reliability and authority that wikipedia, due to its open editorial policies, may not be able to maintain.
		wikipedia won two major awards in May 2004[43]: The first was a Golden Nica for Digital Communities, awarded by Prix Ars Electronica; this came with a 10,000 euro grant and an invitation to present at the PAE Cyberarts Festival in Austria later that year.

	The Finnish Writing System
		For information on The Finnish Language, please see our Quick Facts Library.
		Although Finnish descends from an entirely different language family than those languages spoken by its Scandinavian neighbors Norway, Denmark, and Sweden, its writing system, based on the Latin alphabet with a total of 28 letters, is very much the same.
		The W is not included in the Finnish alphabet, since it is considered another variation of V; however, the W can still show up in proper names.

	Prime Minister of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		If a minority government is in power, a vote of non confidence in the House of Commons may lead to a quick election (9 months in the case of the most recent Canadian minority government, the Clark government of 1979-1980).
		In particular, their goal is to find ways to change the insignificant and ineffectual role of elected members of the House of Commons, to create a Parliamentary committee to review appointments to the Supreme Court, and the need to abolish or radically restructure the appointed Senate.
		An election for every seat in the Commons (a general election) is held at most 5 years after the previous one; however, the prime minister has the power to call a general election at any time.

	Wikipedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is created on the wikipedia.org website using a type of software called a "wiki," from the Hawaiian wiki wiki ("quick").
		Its authors need not have any expertise or formal qualifications in the subjects which they edit, and users are warned that their contributions may be "edited mercilessly and redistributed at will" by anyone who so wishes.
		Vandalism or the minor infraction of policies may result in a temporary block or warning, while long-term or permanent blocks are given by Wales or, on its English edition, an Arbitration Committee for prolonged and serious infractions.

	No Oil for Pacifists
		Its name stems from Wiki, adopted by the first collaborative Internet organization in Portland Oregon, supposedly from the Hawaiian "wiki wiki," meaning "quick" or "informal"--in particular, an island airport shuttle bus of that name.
		We have become so imbued by the conventional wisdom of managerial capitalism that we think the only way to do things is via hierarchical, top-down, tightly controlled organisations that are highly tuned and incredibly fragile.
		Perhaps there could be a way for people (with actual, unbiased expertise) to vote on the accuracy so that errors could at least be annotated (or deleted).
