Wikipedia Announces Tighter Editorial Control
Daedalus_ wrote to mention a Reuters article reporting from Wikimania. "Wikipedia, the Web encyclopaedia written and edited by Internet users from all over the world, plans to impose stricter editorial rules to prevent vandalism of its content, founder Jimmy Wales was quoted as saying Friday." (Update: 08/06 23:45 GMT by J : But see his response here!) Meanwhile, kyelewis writes "WikiMania, the First International WikiMedia Conference is open in Germany, but if you couldn't gather the money or the courage to fly over, you can listen online in Ogg Vorbis format, or if you miss the talks, you can download them later. The WikiMania Broadcast page has more information, and the WikiMania Programme is also available, so jump in and learn more about the mysterious technology that is the wiki."
Have the Chinese censors taken over? Inquiring minds want to know.
He probably spelled it that way on purpose, because any post with "intelligent design" in it gets modded down with bot-like speed
1) Your analysis is based on bad assumptions so your result is way off. 2) You're a sick bastard for fucking a horse.
Yeah I'm much happier here in Europe:
where documentary film makers get shot for making anti-islamic films,
where neo-nazism is still a major problem,
where gay politicians get assasinated for being gay,
where there will be more mosques than churches in 22 years,
where holocaust deniers get equal air time in order to show "both sides of the issue",
where bombs go off on subways,
where the laws don't provide close to the level of protection for individual rights as in the US,
where xenophobic anti-immigration policies are higher than anywhere in the world,
where there will be only 40% of the current workforce in only 20 years (!!!)
We may have problems my friend, but Eurabia is f*cked. How does it feel to be conquered?
I doubt it's deliberate (I'm giving many OSS projects the benefit of the doubt). It's just what happens when idealism meets reality. Honestly, I think that Wikipedia is a nice, idealistic, Star-Trek-esque idea. Very nice. A real world implementation of it? c'mon. You'd have to be a very naive, sheltered 10 year old kid to think that something like Wikipedia would work in real life.
I don't respond to AC's.
