"So many people are on the ground in different places. And people pick up very quickly which are the bloggers to read, and they bring that information to the forefront and amplify it."

Terdiman, Daniel. "Wikipedia Faces Growing Pains" Wired News. January 10, 2005. [14]
On the tension between academic credibility and collaboration, and concludes with, "The question, then, is what people should expect of Wikipedia. As it grows and becomes a repository of 2 million entries from more and more contributors, more of whom are experts in their fields, it probably will be seen as on par with the Britannicas of the world. But first it must convince those experts to become involved, and that will likely mean finding a way to make them feel welcome.."

The Triangle. January 14, 2005

Corkery, Paul. "Wikipedia reinvents information searching." The Triangle. January 14, 2005.[15]
Regardless of its risk of inaccuracy, Wikipedia exists as a noteworthy experiment relating to the idea of Internet users to come together in the spirit of knowledge and learning. What had the potential to become a public toilet of misinformation exists instead as one of the most successful examples of a human oriented, self policing collaborative education effort.
I cannot, because of the reasons pointed out by various resources, plug Wikipedia as the be-all-end-all research tool. However, Wikipedia itself represents a noteworthy use of the Internet and its growing pool of users. Coordinated development projects, as well as national and international Internet based communities and the technologies used in their operation, offer a fascinating look into the lesser known value of how the world's premier communication tool deals with information.
Wikipedia, despite its potential flaws, builds upon the noble foundation upon which the Internet was formed - A digital world in which the free exchange of information and knowledge brings the world together through the sharing of ideas and concepts.
  • Burt, Steve. "A Wiki-margin for the Internet". eSchool News. January 12, 2005. [16]
Well ... perhaps wikis won’t quite take off this year to the degree that weblogs did in 2004, but there is not doubt in my mind that you will be hearing much more about wikis in the months to come. If you are not familiar with wikis, they are open-editable web pages. That is, pages which you can edit the content by simply clicking on one button (usually an ‘edit’ tab) from within your browser. Take a look at Wikipedia to find out a bit more.
If you want to begin experimenting with Wikis right away and you have Firefox installed on your machine, then I’d urge you to visit Wikalong.org and download the wikalong extension. This extension embeds a wiki in the sidebar of your browser, indexed off the url of the current page you are visiting. That is, wikalong builds a ‘parallel’ wiki for any page you visit. Thus, you can comment, discuss and wax philosophical about any issue on a page you are visiting.
In terms of how you and your students could use wikalong, on the simplest level it can be used as a running commentary or parallel blog to whatever page you are looking at. Of course, you can embed links to point to other interesting pages. Simple note-taking or really anything else that you might use a blog, wiki or discussion board for. In addition to the panoply of possible uses, the other strength of wikalong is that you-as-the-user don’t have to install anything on a server or rely on any IT support beyond having Firefox and knowing how to surf the Web.
Tim Lauer originally pointed me towards this tool so as you get it installed you’ll see a bit of commentary between he and I on some of these pages. You’ll notice that Wikalong has a log-in feature which allows posters to connect with each other.
  • Atticus. The Sunday Times (London). January 16, 2005. [17]
    "It must be where Tony Blair learned all about spin and inflation. The prime minister’s biography in Wikipedia, the internet encyclopaedia that its users write, claims that between the ages of 13 and 15 'he worked during school holidays as a bicycle repairer in the local hardware store'. A prankster’s work, sadly."
  • Hsueh, Hungfu. "Taiwan Encyclopedia opens site to users". Taiwan News. January 19, 2005. [18]
    "Chiang Shao-ting, Senior Adviser of the encyclopedia project, highlighted the fact that the Taiwan Encyclopedia will allowing users to edit or add new key words. 'Like the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia which is highly popular among users, the Taiwan Encyclopedia will also be a open platform that allows user to contribute to its content.'"
  • Penenberg, Adam L.. "Like it or not, Blogs Have legs". Wired News. January 20, 2005. [19]
    In the world of words, the closest analogy would be Wikipedia, the web citizen's encyclopedia that is compiled exclusively by volunteers. The problem is, since anyone can write anything about anybody or anything without any oversight, the quality is often uneven. For example, I plugged myself (a subject I am somewhat familiar with) into its search engine and found a glaring error and a typo in the short, 95-word passage. Like consensus, Wikipedia is wonderful for getting people active in the process, but perhaps not as good for editorial accuracy. (Then again, have you seen The New York Times' correction box?)
  • Taylor, Dave. "What's Acceptable Search Engine "Spam" Technique?". InformIT. January 21, 2005. [20]
    "For example, Wikis are singled out as a bad technology, yet a Wiki is just a minimalist shared white board, a technology that lets a group of people share the maintenance of Web-based content. The most popular is probably Wikipedia, which is a fabulous resource, but even Net-savvy publisher O'Reilly has a Wiki that they use to manage the interaction between the company, their authors, and user groups.
    "The argument of the article author, though, is that Wikis are dangerous because anyone can -- theoretically -- add content and therefore add bogus links back to a third-party site. Are Wikis therefore bad because people can "spam" them? Of course not.
    "Just like comments on a weblog or entries in a guestbook, pages on a Wiki should be monitored to ensure that the information thereon is relevant."
  • Unsigned article. "Written by whoever wants to". Revista VEJA. January 23, 2005.
    VEJA magazine, a brazilian weekly publication, published an article on Wikipedia stating its contents aren't reliable since anyone online can edit them. To prove their point, VEJA spread misinformation on wikipedia about brazilian president Lula, which is stated in their January 23 article. "Deliberate misinformation on Lula's article spread by VEJA stayed untouched for 48 hours"
  • Société de transport de Montréal. "Les meilleurs sites Internet: Le métro de Montréal sur le web." Info STM. Métro (Montreal), 26 January 2005, p. 21. [21] (.pdf format)
"Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia on the Web, containing hundreds of thousands of articles in more than fifty languages. Unlike other encyclopedias, the text is written by the users themselves. In the case of the Montreal metro, there can be no doubt about the quality of its information, as the page was written with the collaboration of none other than [Montréalais]!"
note: This is an information page prepared by the STM, printed in the Métro free newspaper as a condition of its distribution in metro stations. The article, on websites about the metro, had previously referred to my website on the metro. -- Montréalais 19:21, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Rubel, Steve. "Wikis Pose A Threat To Costly Media Directories." WebProNews. January 27, 2005. [22]
"In the future, PR professionals - and even consumers - will create their own media directories. For a glimpse of this today, check out this page on Wikipedia. They are starting to index journalists, including Jennifer 8. Lee of the New York Times. The paid services better evolve fast. Because in the near future as wikis become more popular and easier to set up, we may end up forming our own tool that enables us to share our knowledge. "
  • Mossberg, Walter S. "Unlike Search Engines, Answers.Com Responds With Data, Not Links". Wall Street Journal. January 27, 2005. [23]
"There are some downsides to Answers.com. It has answers for only about a million available topics so far. And it relies heavily on Wikipedia, which has been criticized because it isn't written or edited by experts. But unlike some recognized sources like the online Encyclopedia Britannica, Answers.com is free and instantly searches multiple reference works from multiple publishers."

The free encyclopedia is trustworthy, huge, multilingual and growing, and is produced for only a fraction of what gets spent by traditional competitors."
  • Hunt, Kurt. "Four hours to a smarter you". Eastern Echo (Eastern Michigan University). January 31, 2005. [26]
"Truly informed people know more than what CNN feeds them—they take the time to look into the background of topics, to learn about how things come about, and how they interrelate. Which is why you are now heading to wikipedia.org, an Internet-compiled, completely free, community-written encyclopedia."

"Already, internet blogs and communal internet pages known as wikis (from the Hawaiian word for "speedy") are pushing the boundaries of what was known as "user-generated content". Results from Wikipedia, a free encyclopaedia maintained over the internet by volunteers, may not match the standards of publications produced by professional editors, but the service still manages to answer many common questions."
  • Mahmud, Vishnu K. "Share global information with Wiki encyclopedia". The Jakarta Post. February 1, 2005.
    Do you know the history of the airship? Or how to make a magnet?
    In the "old days" (circa 1998), you would have had to open up a book or an encyclopedia to find the answers. Nowadays, however, you can simply "google" or web-search the answer with your computer and the Internet.
    The World Wide Web is a massive network of virtual pages and hyperlinks, making it an ideal source of information. But its decentralized nature can also make it extremely difficult to find or upload data towards the advancement of knowledge. Is there a centralized website online where wisdom can be stored and shared?
    Enter Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org). Created by the WikiMedia Foundation (www.wikimediafoundation.org), this free online encyclopedia allows everyone to access, edit and share informational content in a variety of languages.

"Go to any Wikipedia entry you choose—"Hindu philosophy," "drunk driving," "pataphysics"—and click on the Edit This Page tab. Bingo: Whatever you write immediately becomes the last word on the subject. And if this sounds like a recipe for mob rule, that's because it is. But mob rule turns out to be a surprisingly good way to write an encyclopedia."

Highlighted keywords guide your search to more detailed information, related subjects or interesting tangents. Subjects can be edited and added to by users, which means the site continues to grow and cover increasingly diverse topics." [Review was on page 31 in the MetroLife feature. The 5-star rating was the best rating (5/5) of the three encyclopaedias reviewed. The others were www.probert-encyclopaedia.co.uk (3/5) and www.iep.utm.edu (4/5).

Central to Wikinews is its commitment to neutrality, said Jimmy Wales ... president of the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation. ...
    "Above all, the central question about the Wikinews effort is its credibility. "Making a newspaper is hard," said Robert McHenry, former editor in chief of Encyclopaedia Britannica. "Someone who wants to do it but doesn't really know how hasn't solved the problem by gathering a lot of other people who don't know, either.

From UFOs and Crop Circles to Dancing Hamsters and Headless Chickens, you can find it all online - but for the most part, each site only deals with a single unusual topic, and the sites themselves are spread far and wide. So where can the connoisseur of concentrated eccentricity go for a wide and varied selection of the peculiar in one convenient location? Well, that would be Wikipedia - where a collection of Unusual Articles can take you from Bat bombs to the Year 10,000 problem on a single page."

    Basically, this guy wrote a piece on Wikipedia about he vandalised to be amusing. He refers to it again in his column Arrr!:
    "The ferocity of these W.C. warriors, and the furious indigestive indignation with which they defend their ideas, is absolutely astounding. I've never seen such vitriol in such a trivial context -- except, perhaps, on the Internet, where similarly forgettable forums are littered with self-righteous diatribes and counter-diatribes, each thread taken mortally seriously by all of four people.

Wikipedia has made it public that Google has not asked for any favors in returns, which includes any ad placement on Wikipedia pages. ...

    In an article on the bigotry between supporters of Celtic and Rangers football clubs, he spotted the edit war on 11 February afternoon which resulted in both articles being protected.
    "A small indication of how deep-seated is the conflict between the orange and the green could be seen this week on an obscure and verging on the academic encyclopedia website called Wikipedia. It is an anorak-inhabited environment where earnest folk are invited to contribute their knowledge of history, culture, life and everything. The opportunity for browsers to call up and edit entries on the Wikipedia proved too tempting for warriors on the Old Firm cyber battlefield."
    "The entry for Rangers FC was adjusted to include the information that the club was founded by Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot and that one of their all-time great players was one Alvin Stardust. There was retaliation when Wikipedia readers were informed that Celtic “was founded by Brother Walfrid as a way to raise money for terribly thick Irish bogtrotters, mainly in the East of Glasgow. However, for her supporters, Celtic is much more than a football club, it is a great way to meet young boys and abuse them."
    "The Wikipedia people were bewildered by the fact that the Celtic and Rangers entries were being edited almost by the minute to include a vast array of insult and accusation. They called an end to these “edit wars” and peace has broken out. It is unlikely that Cathy Jamieson will have equal success at her summit this week."

In a revealing speech given by the Google founders, Larry Page says he would 'like to see a model where you can buy into the world's content. Let's say you pay $20 per month.'

    "Google has been using Wikipedia to deliver appropriate results in a non-natural-language fashion, but would love to get hold of the entire database in-house so it would not have to continually spider the thing with its legions of Web crawlers. So the debate now begins. Should the Wikipedia folks get cozy with Google, a public company? The big fear seems to be the notion of letting the camel's head into the tent. Pretty soon the whole camel will be inside.
    ...
    "Unfortunately, when you consistently look to be too generous, people get suspicious. You have to remember that this offer comes on the heels of the offer made to libraries by Google to digitize and host all the great books and documents in the world. Now this. Is Google trying to corner the all the world's information and then, once they have it all under their control, sell it back to us at a high fee?
    "Or, more interestingly, is it possible that the plan is to control all these resources and then stick it to Microsoft when its search-engine Web crawler comes around? ACCESS DENIED! There is no doubt in my mind that this is a distinct possibility. But can it be accomplished without making a mess?
    ...
    "But let's say that Google is as honorable as it claims and has no intention of doing anything more than making life better for everyone. I know most of the principals there, and they are as normal and sincere as can be expected. Nice guys, actually. But Google itself is a public corporation. It's its own animal in that regard, with attorneys and bean-counters making the "nice guys" who run the place beholden to the mythical shareholders, who demand results and accountability. Maybe the nice guys do not want to create a situation that locks out the Microsoft crawlers. The needs of the corporate entity, though, demand it. Maybe the nice guys don't want to take over Wikipedia and clean it up, change the way it works—ruin it—as per the lawyers' demands. The corporation demands it. Those nice guys are not working for themselves any more. We always have to remember that. They are now guests."

It is not as authoritative as Britannica, and it gives disproportionate weight to transient phenomena. But it does give a reliable steer on most subjects. It is not anarchic, there is a hierarchy of more trusted writers who have earned their privileges over time. Editorial access to controversial entries - 'George Bush', 'Palestine', for example - is restricted to see off vandals. A South Korean online newspaper Ohmynews is compiled along similar principles. At this point journalists and compilers of encyclopedias roll their eyes. Their reaction is justified in so far as professionals hate to see a job done badly. But fear of competition plays a part."

When i said that Wikipedia will never be an encyclopedia, i am definitely referencing the current definition (although being flexible on the fact the definition does state book form). Whether the definition will expand, who knows but i don’t think it matters. Both encyclopedias and Wikipedia are knowledge resources and they will always be different. If legitimacy requires a definitional change, i’m worried. Why does it have to be an encyclopedia? Why can’t it simply be Wikipedia?

In this (long) entry, i want to make 3 points:

    • "1) A vetted Wikipedia can have complementary value;
      "2) Reflexivity would be of great value for entries that interpret (not necessarily for entries that are about empirical facts);
      "3) Authority has to do with knowledge, investment and risk."

    "'I don't know who Joe Smith is. Joe Smith could be a fundamentalist who sees Charles Darwin as the Antichrist,' Ash speculated. Such points of view do occasionally get into Wikipedia. The history of the article on Charles Darwin shows a serious effort by several Wikipedia users to keep the article neutral in point of view."
    "Ash recalled that one time, before giving a lecture on a novel by 19th century author Samuel Smiles, he turned to Wikipedia to see if he could find some supplemental information.

    "One reason Google is so popular is it uses a formula for ranking search results that is likely -- though not guaranteed -- to put the most reliable ones at the top. Google also gets points for putting its "sponsored links" -- sites that pay to be listed -- off to the side and labeling them clearly so that users can tell they are ads.
    "But not all search engines play by those rules, and children need to know that. They also need to understand that no search engine guarantees the information it points to is factual or even unbiased.
    "The same applies to some popular online reference sites like the Internet movie database at imdb.com, and http://en.wikipedia.org, an online encyclopedia. The entries in both are written and assembled by amateurs and volunteers -- which doesn't mean the entries are wrong, but it doesn't mean they are right, either.
    " A good point of discussion with teens as well as younger children who use the Internet for research is how a Web site establishes credibility. One place to start: Look on a site's main page for a link labeled something like, 'about us.'

    Article originally in Romanian starts with a description of the The New Yorker's "On the Internet no-one knows you're a dog" cartoon, describes Wikipedia and mentions the accuracy problem. It then describes in detail a disputed article on Romanian poet Adrian Paunescu (ro:Adrian Păunescu):
    "A user for the first time interested in this issue creates a biography and includes in it what he knows: Adrian Paunescu is a famous Romanian poet. Another elderly user would probably add that Paunescu was a poet close to the communist power. A fan of Flacara literary circle might erase this information, saying that Adrian Paunescu was a patriotic poet who contributed to the relaunching of "Horea's spear" song. Later on, a critic added the fact that Adrian Paunescu was a political chameleon after 1989. This contribution can also be erased, let's say, by a member of the former ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD), who includes the poet, again, among the brilliant minds of the nation. This wikipedia page isn't a joke, it really exists (http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_P%C4%83unescu). From it, the nationalist poet, deeply involved in the games of the communist power in the 1980s, appears as a disinterested patriot. He is presented as being persecuted by the communist-era political police Securitate and as a "supporter of the naturist medicine in the era of the advancement of chemistry". The secret of this positive biography? The last contributor of the biography of the bard from Birca was...the son of the poet, Andrei Paunescu." ...
    "The wiki system perfectly embodies the drama of searching for information through the Internet. Although plenty and necessary, information isn't better or worse than it was its last user/creator. Internet is like a water spring. It is a quick way to quench your thirst. The problem is that you never know who was the last one who drank from it: a man or a dog."
    Note: Since the publication of this article, the Adrian Paunescu article appears to have been extensively truncated and vandalised.

    "To get a sense of what a wiki really is, you will need to visit one. Start at Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org), a popular, freely available encyclopedia. Wikipedia might look like any other Web-based resource, with brief items brimming with links to other references. Wikipedia has more than 525,000 entries in English on just about any topic imaginable. The entry on wiki provides the source of the quirky name — a Hawaiian term meaning quick. But look under the covers of Wikipedia, and you will discover how easy it is to edit the articles..." (text continues at article)
  • Cara, Anna. "If 'Wikipedians' don't like this article, they'll change it" Atlanta Journal-Constitution. April 17, 2005.
    "In an interview with Wikipedia's latest newsletter, Stanford University professor Lawrence Lessig simply says, 'Wikipedia is jazz.'"

La prima parte il giorno prima. --Christian (discussione) 03:19, 11 mar 2009 (CET)
  • "Web quickly spreads word of new pope". Reuters. April 19, 2005. [110]
    "The election spurred the posting of special alert banners on major news network sites including ABC, CBS, CNN, FOX and NBC. The entry for Ratzinger on Wikipedia had already been updated to reflect his new title. The community-based Web encyclopedia also was quick to post word of the death of Terri Schiavo in March." Links are as shown in quotation.
  • Silverman, Dwight. "Sudden info on the pope". Houston Chronicle. April 20, 2005. [111]
    "For those who don't know, the Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that is developed by the online community. Anyone is free to submit or revise an article.
    "You'd think it would be chaotic, but it actually works well — and quickly..."
    Article continues; see full text for more. Links are as shown in article.
  • "The future of journalism: Yesterday's papers". The Economist. April 21, 2005. [112]
    "Wikis are collaborative web pages that allow readers to edit and contribute. This, to digital immigrants, may sound like a recipe for anarchic chaos, until they visit, for instance, wikipedia.org, an online encyclopaedia that is growing dramatically richer by the day through exactly this spontaneous (and surprisingly orderly) collaboration among strangers." Links to Wikipedia as shown.
  • Rhymer, Rigby. "The advent of the online whiteboard: COLLABORATIVE SOFTWARE: Companies around the world are waking up to the considerable attractions of interactive wiki pages". Financial Times (London). April 22, 2005.
    "Wikipedia, the web's largest encyclopaedia and the best known example of a wiki"
  • "BBC Launches Real-Life 'Hitchhiker's Guide'" Adam Pasick for Reuters. [113]
    "Wikipedia allows anyone to make changes to entries but relies on a final review by a core team of about 1,000 users. Similarly, the BBC has the final say over what appears on H2G2, according to Ashley Highfield, Director of BBC New Media & Technology."
  • Mitra, Kushan. "Just how did a website with a quaint sounding prefix (it's Hawaiian, duh!) establish the concept of an online democracy? And why did a multi-millionaire one-time derivatives trader become its benevolent dictator?". Business Today (India). April 24, 2005.
    "Wikipedia is nothing short of a revolution."
  • Foremski, Tom. "Notes from Software 2005: Lunch with the Swami of the enterprise software sector...". SiliconValleyWatcher. April 26, 2005. [114]
    "I sat with MR at lunch, (he is a big SiliconValleyWatcher fan BTW). Here are some notes from my chat with the 'swami of the software sector'. (MR, I hope it’s not offensive to call you swami; I did wikipedia it…!)" (This marks the first time this user at least has seen "Wikipedia" used as a verb.)
  • Hoffman, Allan. "Just Browsing'. New Orleans Times-Picayune. April 27, 2005.
    "Wikipedia is an astonishing resource"
  • Williams, Derek. "Wikipedia". Newsletter of American Mensa COM SIG. April 27, 2005.
    Discusses the idea behind Wikipedia, it's growth, and mentions and replies to common criticisms.
  • Jdd, Damon D. "Geocollaboration using Peer-Peer GIS". Directions Magazine. April 28, 2005. [115]
    "The web site, Wikipedia, is an encyclopedia written collaboratively by many of its readers. It illustrates an interesting level of collaboration at the less interactive, open community side of the spectrum. Wikipedia defines collaboration as follows." Article then quotes first paragraph of Collaboration. Article links to main page and article as shown.
  • "The Saj of Tao | Denouement". The Tufts Daily. April 28, 2005. [116].
    "Wikipedia.org, my dearest friend. Not a credible source to cite on research papers, I discovered, but if I'm in a bind and need to know who made the steam engine efficient enough to jumpstart the creation of an effective steam-powered cargo-carrying industry (James Watt) for the sole purpose of setting up a joke a few lines later about a fat stupid President opening up ANWR to oil-drilling at the turn of the last century, I know where to go."
  • Dubey, Chris. "Online Encyclopedia Offers Free Help". The University of Hartford Informer. April 28, 2005. [117]
    "Where on the Internet can you find optimized information on such diverse topics as hyperbolic Ann Coulter quotes, the history of auto racing and the Usenet flame war called the Meow Wars? No, it isn't Google I'm talking about. It's Wikipedia, a Web-based, free-content encyclopedia, written collaboratively by volunteers..." Remainder of article is about Wikipedia.
  • Cody, Nabours. "Life, the universe and everything". The UCSD Guardian. April 29, 2005. [118].
    "Much of the book’s best humor remains in the movie, from the doomed-but-philosophizing sperm whale (perhaps the book’s finest moment) to the excerpts from the Guide itself (sort of the Wikipedia of the universe)."
  • Hoff, Rob. "REALLY Local Content". Business Week. April 29, 2005. [120]
    "Of course, this kind of thing would depend on lots of people contributing voluntarily, but Craigslist, Wikipedia, and other volunteer sites prove that's not an insurmountable barrier." Links to Wikipedia as shown.
  • Rowse, Darren. "A Blogging Perspective OS X Tiger". WebProNews. April 30, 2005. [121].
    "Dashboard - one of the main things that Apple have been selling this upgrade with is the new Dashboard feature which allows users to download desktop widgets. At the click of a button these widgets appear on your screen giving you up to date information on a variety of topics - ranging from stock prices, weather, world time, dictionary, calculator, wikipedia look up, mini rss reader."
