Naruwan rated 16 months ago- From the page: "Can Wikipedia conquer expertise?" Long, informative article. Funny that it has since emerged that one "Essjay" a WP admin and contributor has a fake profile - no PhD in theology or degree in canon law. Jimmy Wales says he has no problem with that. Oops! Read the "Editor's note" at the end of the article.

- Can Wikipedia conquer expertise? The ongoing controvesy regarding wikipedia (the now famous Nature article in December and Britannica's allegation that Nature "cooked" the study)[http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v438/n7070/full/438900a.html]and [http://www.nature.com/news/2005/051212/full/438900a.html] and its related print encylopaedias. This article looks at the history of wikipedia and where its heading... the author ends the article with these words... "your truth or mine" which so aptly describes the situation. Not to miss is the Onion's treatment of the Wiki story ;) http://www.theonion.com/content/node/50902

My favorite columnist Stacy Schiff explains Wikipedia in a wonderful New Yorker article: "According to a page on the site, an avid interest in Wikipedia has been known to afflict 'computer programmers, academics, graduate students, game-show contestants, news junkies, the unemployed, the soon-to-be unemployed and, in general, people with multiple interests and good memories.' You may travel in more exalted circles, but this covers pretty much everyone I know."
