Wikipedia Founder Sees Serious Quality Problems

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wiki-this dept.

Juha-Matti Laurio writes "The Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has acknowledged there are real quality problems with the online project. From the article: 'Meanwhile, criticism from outside the Wikipedia camp has been rebuffed with a ferocious blend of irrationality and vigor that's almost unprecedented in our experience: if you thought Apple, Amiga, Mozilla or OS/2 fans were er, ... passionate, you haven't met a wiki-fiddler.'"

    Considering our wiki was deleted because the site it pointed to had no alxia rating.... I find it a weak reason to delete a wiki about a anime club in montreal that has a rich history...I guess we should motion for an undelete but whe are a bit dissapointed.
