"When people say that Wikipedia is not trustworthy, it reminds me of the same folks who still think they can get a computer virus from a website that has Flash animation on it. It's simply not true. It's about time to understand the power of Wikipedia and what it means to business today."
- The author sees Wikipedia's dynamic knowledge sharing as a potentially revolutionary aid to businesses.

- Hattersley, Giles (2009-02-08). "Wikipedia bolts its open door". The Sunday Times. The Sunday Times. http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article5682896.ece. Retrieved on 2009-02-11. "Wikipedia is to curb its open-to-all policy after a string of howlers."

- At the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2009, British prime minister Gordon Brown, quoting the artist Titian, referred to him as "the great painter who reached the age of 90". At Prime Minister's Question Time on 11 February 2009 opposition leader David Cameron cited as an example of Brown's alleged lack of skill with facts "You told us the other day you were like Titian aged 90. The fact is Titian died at 86." and shortly afterwards (at 1234 GMT) the Wikipedia entry for the artist was changed to match the age given by Mr Cameron at an IP address registered at the Conservative Party's HQ in London. Press comment such as on the BBC Daily Politics pointed out that there was little certainty on Titian's age at death and a Conservative spokesman apologised with "This was an over-eager member of staff putting right an incorrect entry on Wikipedia."

| «You also mention this theory called the Piranha effect, which, to really roughly summarize, is that if you have a bunch of people nibbling on the same subject, they'll devour it really well. With their new policies, is Wikipedia now moving away from that and becoming more hierarchical, reliant on experts, which is exactly what they were against when they started?
It's not clear that they're relying more on experts. Wikipedia is still based on the idea that your edits, the quality of the work that you do, is what matters and not your pedigree. But that's also one of the funny laments of Wikipedia. That you might have a tenured professor debating a 14-year-old high school student and they are equal -- for better or for worse. But should they be? Shouldn't experts have a dominant role in interpreting history? The majority of the articles on Wikipedia aren't on subjects where experts are normally needed. You do get into topics where experts are useful, especially in the scientific articles. This is something that has always been up for debate, whether or not there should be a special place for experts. And that's one reason why Larry Sanger, one of the original founders of Wikipedia, has been kind of shunned by Wikipedia, because he does believe that experts should have a privileged role.» |

| «Do you think open sourcing works better in some mediums than others? We've had Wiki novels in recent years, for instance, and to put this bluntly, you know you're not reading Dostoevsky.
Encyclopedia writing was a perfect match for Wiki style. Encyclopedia writing is pretty well understood -- using the inverted pyramid, where the first three sentences give a complete summary of what you're about to read and as you go down the article gives you an elaboration of the basic information. It's very structured data.»
