	Wikinfo \| Critical views of Wikipedia
		In this case, the attacks got ugly, only because she expected that an encyclopedia was a place to go to get correct information on a subject.
		So, it is one thing to allow the posting of any point of view by internet denziens, and it is quite another to call that process an encyclopedia on par with Brittanica or others.
		Dynamism is a point of view that embraces multiculturality, individual choice and the open society, even if it means uncertainity of the future and losing the privilege of the state to plan the society.

	wikipedians: A Wikipedia "Pearl Harbor"...
		A lot of people and organizations download the database regularly (I have a month-old copy of it myself that I was using for searches, as do many other wikipedians, I'm sure.)
		Some wikipedians believe that a wiki simply can't grow too large before it becomes hopelessly unmanageable.
		I think that as long as the rate of taking ownership for articles grows at a similar pace, we have enough eyeballs to keep it running.

		On controversial topics, opinions, pro or con, will be edited out by the other side.
		Only information that both sides accept as neutral has any chance of surviving in the long run.
		So if you're concerned about privacy and anonymity, you may prefer to create a username for yourself in order to hide your IP.

	Wikipolitics: Part 1 at Forever Geek (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		For those of you who aren't familiar with wikipedia, or, if you read pages from it sometimes, but haven't been involved with its editing, or even if you are a veteran wikipedian who is curious as to the reaction of a new member, I am going to share my experiences and observations.
		If any wikipedian considers an article to be deficient, they can nominate it for deletion by editing the page itself to add a deletion notice and by listing it on the Votes for Deletion (VfD) page.
		Then, concerned/interested wikipedians add their vote and some sort of justification (using the term very liberally) to the VfD page, and, when rough consesus is achieved, the group-preferred action is taken.

	Encyclopedia: Wikipedians (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Some might argue that Wikipedist would be a more appropriate name, just as encyclopedist means someone who contributes to an encyclopedia.
		It is suggested that if you put your name on one of the more specific lists, that you also include your name on the alphabetical list.
		Special:Listusers is an automatic listing; however, due to technical limitations, it does not list all users.

	Media is a Plural - Rory O'Connor's Blog » Wiki-mania (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Ground Zero, at least last week, was Frankfurt, Germany, site of Wikimania, the first global gathering of the self-styled ‘wikipedians’ who collectively are well on their way to the goal of providing free online encyclopedias in every language on earth.
		Although the wikipedians continued to ignore commerce and filthy lucre, commercial entities couldn’t help but notice that something was going on.
		That trust–along with the core value of NPOV, or “neutral point of view” that wikipedians insist on in their edit model–has thus far been an absolute defense against any corrosion or corruption of their values.

	PressThink: Big Wigs Confer, Part Three
		The surprise: I’ve been under the impression that there’s a simmering conflict between bloggers and wikipedians.
		Bloggers tend to be building their personal brands; wikipedians tend to follow a self-effacing, monastic model of knowledge.
		I was surprised and pleased to see bloggers and wikipedians find common ground so quickly around common passions.

		No company actually owns the 1.3 million-plus articles in over 150 languages – legally speaking, it’s run by a non-profit based in Florida, with half of its Board of Trustees being elected officials.
		But here’s the real beef: anyone can edit almost any page at any time.
		The club cooperates with the various foreign language clubs, like say, Spanish.

		Over the last six years, something incredible has happened.
		When I was writing my linguistics thesis, for example, the page on verbal aspect was labelled disputed over an argument about how aspect is reflected In English verbs.
		It has worked for software and now it’s working for knowledge, and the more of us that roll up our sleeves and get stuck in the better it will continue to become.

		In rare instances, an article has to be locked down.
		For example, it became simply impossible for to keep the George Bush’s and John Kerry’s photographs vandalism-free during last fall’s election season.
