Power of Wikipedia + Lack of Accountability = Bad News, Does anyone disagree with that? Options

[Kato]

Let's cut back to the chase:

• Due to the power Wikipedia has attained in the world of information, and the fact that this power is wielded without the standards of accountability society traditionally requires, Wikipedia's model presents serious problems. (examples are plenty of the problems that this lack of accountability has created)

Does anyone disagree with that statement?

Angela,

The problems that you mention have a lot to do, once again, with the intellectual horizon of the average wikipediot admin/editor. Somehow or other, through lack of education, general awareness, or worldly experience, the group in question has missed the whole dialogue on knowledge that has been taking place on the cultural scene for about as long as, well, as I've been paying attention, at least.

This has numerous consequences.

Jon
