Hi Erik,
when I read your mail, it reminded me on the typical reactions of some
people who did not know wikipedia and heard about writing an encylopedia
bye allowing anyone to post :)
When I read your suggestion about limiting and certain steps of editing
an open news project, I was reminded on Nupedia somehow.
Indeed, wikipeadia was one of the best resources on March 11 when the
bombs hit Madrid and people outside wikipedia have noticed it.
By the way:
There is an increasing number of articles containing the following
phrase: "according to wikipedia". This is great and I guess there are
more occasion when journalists used wikipedia to get facts without
citing the source in their article.
Has anyone an idea how to intensify this? Does anyone work for a
newspaper or a news agency? It's a simple tradeoff: They are delivering
keywords what they actually need in the near future and interested
people might write something about it in wikipedia...
