Social Media and the Digital Disruption (mppr850.wordpress.com):
… s very hard to know what exactly you can and can’t trust on Wikipedia. Newsman John Seigenthaler got very burned by a libelous write-up, and not surprisingly Encyclopedia Britannica thinks the project is thedevil incarnate. On the other hand, a Nature study found that the two are about equal in accuracy. Of course, the beauty/challenge of Wikipedia is that anyone can edit it, as Colbert likes to demonstrate by raising the subject of …

Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can edit that article, and the modifications will stand until further modified.Then comes the crucial and entirely faith-based step:3. Some unspecified quasi-Darwinian process will assure that those writings and editings by contributors of greatest expertise will survive; articles will eventually reach a steady state that corresponds to the highest degree of accuracy." see also: …

Media, Politics, & Truth (jchakerian.wordpress.com):
… Free Online Encyclopedia” is sooo misleading, and is a far stretch from all the funky, and frankly, more accurate “social experiment” descriptions Jimmy Wales first used to describe Wikipedia.  I don’t blame theBritanica guy for getting ticked. Their experts did all this real work and now people are probably plagiarizing their encyclopedia entries like crazy and posting them on Wikipedia as their own. Crowd control is tough. One major advantage Wikipedia has, in addition …

… Still, the discussion regarding the quality of the information offered is far from over as far as I’m concerned. I recently read Everything is Miscellaneous by David Weinberger which is an incredibily inspiring book. In his book Weinberger quotes (original article) Robert McHenry who is a former Editor in Chief of the Encyclopedia Britannica: The user who visits Wikipedia to learn about some subject, to confirm some matter of fact, is rather in the position of a visitor to a public restroom. It may be obviously …

Planet GNOME (planet.gnome.org):
… When people criticise Wikipedia, they often cite specific errors in articles as evidence that its overall quality is poor. The irony in this is that it encourages Wikipedians to fix those exact errors. For instance, in his essay “The Faith-Based Encyclopedia”, Robert McHenry ― one of Wikipedia's most ardent critics ― pointed out ambiguities in the article on Alexander Hamilton: While the day and month of Hamilton's birth are known, there is some uncertainty as to the year, whether it be 1755 or …
