[Blog.futurestreetconsulting.com] hyperpeople » Wikipedia: although articles do get deleted because they do not meet Wikipedia’s evolving standards (e.g., the first version of a biographical page about myself) it remains a triumph of tolerance, carefully maintaining a laissez-faire approach to the creation of content, applying a moderating influence only when the broad guidelines of Wikipedia (summed up in the maxim “don’t be a dick”) have been obviously violated. The community feels that it has complete control over the creation of content within Wikipedia, and this sense of investment - that Wikipedia truly is the product of the community’s own work - has made Wikipedia’s contributors its most earnest evangelists.
