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.

In many characteristics wikipedia resembles soviet union:
Idea of creating soviet union seemed to be good, implementation of that idea demonstrated it is not so good. The same with wikipedia. soviet union was a totalitarian regime, in which citizens rights were abused over and over again. wikipedia is a totalitarian regime, in which editors rights are abused over and over again. soviet union was known for closed tribunals. wikipedia is too. soviet union persecuted its citizens for criticizing the regime. wikipedia does too. soviet union took over eastern European countries. wikipedia killed encarta and almost killed Britannica. soviet union has a special class of privileged elite that was above the law. wikipedia does too. governance of soviet union heavily relied on lies and deceptions. governance of wikipedia does too. Well, eventually soviet union collapsed under its own absurdity although when I lived there I did not believe it ever would . Will the history repeat itself with wikipedia, at least with wikipedia as it is now? I certainly hope it will. This post has been edited by mbz1: Sun 22nd April 2012, 5:47pm |
