[Blog.citizendium.org] Citizendium Blog: It’s that we love the fact that other people allow some of our own words to pass without significant change.  We naturally take this to mean that our words are correct.  When someone else edits an article to which we have added something, and does not change our words, that is confirmation from that other person that we knew what we were talking about.  And one of the most ego-boosting, personally affirming things that another person can tell you is: “Yes, you really do know that.”  So mutual epistemic congratulation is what is going on, constantly, on the Citizendium and Wikipedia and other similar websites.
