… As the site has gained in popularity, it has been the target of “vandals” posting purposely inaccurate information. This usually gets corrected quickly, but it’s happening more frequently as well. (Most notably, the journalist John Seigenthaler,wrote an op-ed piece for USA Today …

British Film and cinema forum - British film and cinema forum (www.britmovie.net):
… reading the following documented facts, you decide whether or not Wikipedia promotes terrorism. For almost a year people have been asking me why Wikipedia targets people such as pro-Israel attorney Alan Dershowitz, USA TODAY editorial page editorJohn Seigenthaler, Internet pioneer Arnon Katz and pro-Israel news organizations such as the Israel News Agency. In response, I really scratched my head in bewilderment. Especially given that some of those who attempt to attack and discredit Israelis and Israel …

Online Education News, Online University News, Online (www.ya-edu.com):
… a sort of Wikipedia for unknown people, mixed in with a splash of Facebook. While some scholars and other critics have pooh-poohed Wikipedia’s low standards for article content—anyone can add or edit an entry, leading to some wrong and potentiallydefamatoryinformation—it does have at minimum one stringent community-enforced standard. That is the “notability” guideline, which mandates that subjects must be “worthy of notice” whose factoids can be cross-checked against independent secondary …

… of that.  While I appreciate the purpose of the games, I would never play it again or recommend anyone to play it . The games lack that “learn while you play element”. On the other hand I also had the pleasure of reading the John Sieganthalerarticleabout his plight with Wikipedia and online defamation. The article was published in 2005 , during a time when I was still in college, and I believe this article was one of the reasons I was not able to use the online encyclopedia for any of my research …

… So many surprises this week…but, I guess that’s been the norm lately. Each week, I have been astounded at one can do, say, accomplish, access or evenmanipulateonline. Overall though, I have been very pleasant surprised. As we head into the next phase, I am slightly wary. We’re now entering a virtual world—a Second Life. Whoa. First of all, I can barely keep up with my first life …

… Siegenthaler was the assistant to attorney general Robert Kennedy and was outraged when an article posted on Wikipedia insinuated that he was a suspect in Kennedy’s assassination. For the moment, please stop reading this blog and go toUSATODAYand seek out Siegenthaler’s article. His words alone will be an education for you. The bottom line is this: the anonymous people that control the content at Wikipedia are cowardly shitheels. Who are these people? They are the world’s new breed …

… (although Wikipedia trumps encyclopedias for web and technology information), it does provide accountability and sources. Which brings me to the next point… “How could Wikipedia be better set-up to better provide accuracy?” I thinkJohn Seigenthalermight say much would be gained by “open-sourcing” the identities of Wikipedia’s contributors (even if under a traceable pseudonym). Not all contributors will misuse Wikipedia–but knowing that identities will not be protected, in the event of …

Social Media and the Digital Disruption (mppr850.wordpress.com):
… default research tool for most college students and lazy journalists/researchers is very controversial for its “truthiness.” It’s very hard to know what exactly you can and can’t trust on Wikipedia. NewsmanJohn Seigenthalergot very burned by a libelous write-up, and not surprisingly Encyclopedia Britannica thinks the project is the devil incarnate. On the other hand, a Nature study found that the two are about equal in accuracy …

Search Engine Optimization Blog (www.metamend.com):
… Believe it or not, Wikipedia is seven years old today.Highly fallible, extremely malleable and recently much maligned, the original version of the world’s first user-written encyclopedia was put online by founders Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger on January 15, 2001. It has been an interesting seven years but the last …
