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."
where gay politicians get assasinated for being gay,
:P
Is it better when politicians get assassinated for being... politicians?
where there will be more mosques than churches in 22 years,
Either is worthless in my eyes.
where holocaust deniers get equal air time in order to show "both sides of the issue",
You mean like how... debates.. usually work?
where bombs go off on subways,
Sure beats having airplanes fly into public buildings
where the laws don't provide close to the level of protection for individual rights as in the US,
Where we (most of the time) don't NEED laws to provide a level of protection (then again, it seems the US government doesn't really care about those aforementioned laws)
where there will be only 40% of the current workforce in only 20 years (!!!)
I sure intend to do my part! I'm working on being a millionaire within 20 years
