Wikipedia-osidy... ongoing

Looney Dunes: Wikipedia-osidy

Question : is Wikipedia messy because life and the world is messy ?

"Wikipedia for Grownup's"?

Not that the Times has a vested interest in "Authorative Voice" status.

Insider Editing at Wikipedia - New York Times

"Mr. Sanger left Wikipedia, he said at the time, because it gave too much power to 'difficult people, trolls, and their enablers.' He says his latest endeavor, Digital Universe, will combine the strengths of Wikipedia with those of a traditional reference work. With $10 million in backing, Digital Universe, called 'a Wikipedia for grown-ups' by The Register, a technology news site, will go online next month (digitaluniverse.net). It will allow anyone to contribute and edit entries, but experts vouching for the accuracy of entries will oversee major areas of content, according to ZDNet Asia."
