Pretty simple poll. By "lasting" I mean Wikipedia as we know it, as an active wiki with at least hundreds of people working on it every day. I don't mean as a file that some future archeologist will look at as some curiously weird piece of ridiculousness from around 2010.

It's possible that in 10 years' time there might be more notable web competition to Wikipedia, but as it stands, with printed encyclopedias being seen as something ye olde great grandfather would read while denouncing the negroes or something, it does seem that it will have to change towards better quality control someday as people will increasingly have to rely on it as the only real "encyclopedic" source for anything.
I think the concept is endearingly bad enough ("let's allow anyone to make encyclopedic articles without any quality control other than being able to cite... whatever") and the initial momentum large enough that Wikipedia is firmly secured in its present position. |
