Wikipedia Death Row

[blogmarch] I am currently complicit in the pending execution of a self-important, unremarkable and wholly unnotable music artist who has penned his own inflated Wikipedia biography. With a bit of luck and a prevailing wind, this pretentious turd's tragic B&W photo of himself in a crude film noir pose complete with wistfully held cigarette will be no longer come Boxing Day.

Eragon and WikiPedia extended learning

 [Moving at the Speed of Creativity] Several days ago, my son really surprised me by embarking on his own WikiPedia research effort (all initiated by himself without any prodding) on the topic of Eragon. (WikiPedia is one of the authorized websites he can access from his computer login, which is configured using Mac OS X’s parental controls.) He found the main WikiPedia article for Eragon, and from there learned much more about Galbatorix, his dragon, Saphira, the other dragons and dragon eggs which remain in Alagaesia, and more.

Beyond Wikipedia (in Mediacheck)

 [Tyee - Home :: Tyee Home :: thetyee.ca] Here it must be borne in mind that Sanger was personally gunned down in Wikipedia's lawless territories by an anonymous contributor named "Cunctator," who went around deleting all of his work in a long, drawn-out edit war. Finding himself a powerless co-founder of Wikipedia with a PhD in philosophy from Ohio State University that didn't give him the upper hand in editing, Sanger became increasingly frustrated, and complained that there was no way to maintain an orderly editorial process or to punish troublemakers like Cunctator.

Most important software project

[Mike Linksvayer] it would add a whole lot to the semantic ecosystem, obviously, but at the same time it has the potential to destroy Wikipedia, by overrunning a set of easy-to-edit text files with a huge system of arbitrary tags that would confuse almost everyone. I think there’s more promise in dedicated sites like, well, Discourse DB, that focus on one small set of knowledge and have well-defined attributes and relations.
