      The word on Wikipedia: Trust but verify

      Posted by Jeff from MSNBC

      Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales presides over a burgeoning empire. Wikimedia, the site’s host, has expanded into textbooks, republishable content, news, shared media and online project coordination. It all rests on Wikipedia’s reputation as an always available, convenient and reliable repository of the world’s knowledge.

    • Wikipedia To Check I.D.s

      Posted by Jeff from New York Times

      By allowing expert contributors to remain anonymous, Wikipedia’s plan does seem to raise a question: might it be a good idea simply to abandon the tradition of “screen names” that has grown up with the Web, and start encouraging people to use their real names when they contribute to discussion or debate online?

    • Microsoft in hot water for offer to pay for Wikipedia edits

      Posted by Jeff from Seattle Times

You can't tell me there aren't plenty of quality technical writers in the U.S. This is just more of their payola strategy - like the free laptops given to bloggers.
