I am going to reproduce here parts of my paper “Peer governance and Wikipediaâ€. The following text deals with some tentative proposals regarding the problematic side of Wikipedia’s governance, departing from the battle between inclusionists and deletionists.
Wikipedia has been hailed as one of the most prominent peer projects that led to the rise of the concept of peer governance. However, criticism has been levelled against Wikipedia’s mode of governance. This paper, using the Wikipedia case as a point of departure and building upon the conflict between inclusionists and deletionists, tries to identify and draw some conclusions on the problematic issue of peer governance.

"Inclusionist v Deletonist" is shorthand for "I have no idea at all concerning Wikipedia."
