A Wiki Situation

Scott McLemee, Inside Higher Ed, Jun 14, 2006
Commentary by Stephen Downes

Yet another academic writer wrestles ith the by now age-old question: whether to berate Wikipedia or to dive in and fix the thing. The presumption, of course, is that it's broken - a presumption not bolstered by the very interested commentary provided from Robert McHenry, the former editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia Britannica. As usual, the (unpaid) comments responding to the article are more reasonable and better argued than the article itself, especially Ira Socol's.
