QUOTE(Somey @ Tue 26th January 2010, 5:15pm)  QUOTE(RDH(Ghost In The Machine) @ Tue 26th January 2010, 4:04pm) Is good, but I like his "I can't believe it's an encyclopedia!" better. Personally, I thought "the discussion was closed before it even really got off the ground" would make a good motto, given the current state of things over there. It was necessary to destroy the knowledge in order to save it. Jon  |

Our Man in Rotterdam put it quite well:
QUOTE(Guido den Broeder @ Thu 6th August 2009, 12:37pm) Yes, but that won't help Wikipedia, which features the difference of all human knowledge rather than the sum. I figure this means on its best days a WP article will only reflect the portion [of human knowledge] which nobody powerful enough has an interest in vetoing. I figure by the end of the song, Leeroy "Free Encyclopedia" Brown will look like a jigsaw puzzle with most of the pieces defaced, inverted, redacted, cut in half, or painted out by request of EMI. That's what the broken globe logo is all about, right? This post has been edited by CharlotteWebb: Tue 26th January 2010, 11:07pm |

And I concur...before the end finally comes, many will just say FORK it... |

A compendium of knowledge, or at least something that looks like a compendium of knowledge.
Or maybe better: "An encyclopedia, or whatever." |

Wikipedia: Where something a big newspaper prints about your life is considered more reliable than what you yourself remember. Even if the newspaper got the "fact" from you in the first place, and
 Wikipedia: Where scurrilously and anonymously attacking the academic credentials of an opponent's source is considered fair, but pointing out that your adolescent opponent himself has absolutely no idea what he's talking about, is considered bad faith. |

QUOTE(Kwork @ Tue 26th January 2010, 7:26pm) To paraphrase an old bumper sticker from the Southern U.S.: If Your Heart Ain't In Wiki Get Your Ass Out. IN Chicago, to paraphrase an old saying, if you got a rabid dog threatening the neighborhood, you then shoot it and get rid of it. Wikipedia is a threat to value of accurate knowledge, to peoples lives and reputations, and steals peoples ideas and distorts and cheapens them for the benefit of a few leet (global trotting techno gladflys -JIMMY-SUZZIE and a cadre of other wikileet on staff.) |
