  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  Because anyone can edit Wikipedia, the Web encyclopedia's reliability varies wildly. Now a computer science professor hopes to give users a better baloney detector: software that flags questionable lines in Wikipedia entries.

- 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
  The fact that Microsoft hired a technical writer/Wikipedia contributor in Australia - they were trying very hard to keep from being connected to him. 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.
