Do you think Wikipedia is failing? Or is this simply a case of old-media journalists wishing its demise?

I think it’s an issue of new media bloggers making something out of nothing.

Websites will grow exponentially, hit a high and decrease somewhat until they are stable.

of course the hype may lead to less contributions but that is still a great resource for all of us.

I am an editor according to Jimmy Wales’ counting methods, though I don’t spend hours of my time on it. If I’m consulting Wikipedia as one of a number of sources and it contains obvious inaccuracies/problems with grammar/spelling, I’ll amend it, that’s all. I’m sure many people do this, and I don’t see why it would stop. On the other hand, if the numbers used to include lots of spammers, we should be grateful they’be been driven away.
