The Wikipedians Who Make it Happen
Phoe6 writes "Many of us might have wondered who these crazy people are, spending lot of time at wikipedia and presenting us with such an invaluable information.
Wired has decided to give some credits to the most active wikipedians, in their article titled Wiki becomes a way of life"
Google should grab a nightly dump and set up pedia.google.com
Thats disgusting. Grabbing dumps is bad enough, but then u bring Pediaphiles into it.

According to WikiPedia, we should question why this story got accepted. from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slashdot
The Slashdot editors are sometimes accused of posting (and even preferring) stories that are, themselves, thinly-disguised trolls, which encourage large numbers of postings in response, and of accepting kickbacks to post certain stories.
the editors of wiki had:
1. no axes to grind 2. committment to accuracy 3. no conflicting interests 4. credentials
Oh, and btw, using wikipedia as "source" is like saying something is true because your brother-in-law says it is (and he's a dr/atty/chemist/nobel laureate/cereal box prize winner/etc....). Not credible.
It's not an encylopedia, it's a editorial page on a multitude of subjects.
Not trying to goad anyone, just making an observation.
