Essjay controversy has been nominated for Featured Article, articles which are supposed to represent the best of Wikipedia. Featured Articles may appear on Wikipedia's Main Page. Is this navel gazing? Or is it important for Wikipedia to air its own dirty laundry on its front page?
Please look up
Fundamental Attribution Bias (
FAB), aka
Fundamental Attribution Error (
FAE) in a social psych textbook. The Wikipedia article used to be moderately informative on this score when I was helping to write it, but I never look bak NE more, as it always makes me cry.
It doesn't really matter if WP:Fundament Gazing is done on its front page or in its back wards, as it's all the same thing, a way of distracting from the ®eal Problem™ @ Wikipedia.
IT'S THE SYSTEM, STØØPID !!!
