WikiPedia Founder Wales Speaks About Wikinews

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fast-accurate-cheap-pick-two dept.

sebFlyte writes "One of Wikipedia's founders, Jimmy Wales, has given an interesting interview to news.com.com.com about the new WikiNews project. He talks about his dissatisfaction with IndyMedia's bias, the problems with traditional news media and how to make Wiki content credible (a problem WikiPedia faces, as previously reported)."

    I for one, welcome our news.com.com.com.com.com overlords.

    Yes, however, if you're on Wikipedia linking UFOs and the Oklahoma City bombing... you - *yourself* - are considered a non-reliable source.

    I look forward to when Geocities makes your site available again. I use sources like you for various role playing games.

  3. And "deglr6328" is a liar to boot. by Baldrson · · Score: 2, Funny
    To the best of my knowledge the last time I posted anything anonymously was the Plato network circa 1980 when I did a bit of fiction under a pseudonym. Since then everything has been easily identifiable as the person I am -- in stark contrast to "deglr6328" who, for all we know, may be a refugee from The People's Temple. I think I know who is posting as IP 164.116.47.178 but I did not consult with said person concerning the fusion power article prior to his/her editing of that article.

    As to the rest of his ad hominem attack, my challenge still stands: falsify the quite readily falsifiable claim of presenting a genuine letter from Robert W. Bussard, co-founder of the United States fusion energy program, denouncing, as an originator of that program, the Tokamak.
