Jul 7, 2008 - I love Jimbo! Great speech! In fact, if anybody is interested, I have the only Wikipedia Article of the Day channel on the internet here, and if you like Wikipedia you'd probably like my channel.

Jul 7, 2008 - People say, "Wikipedia is un-reliable because anyone can edit it". Well, you just proved my point. If someone can change something to make it in-accurate, then some one can change it back just as easily (actually even more easily, that's how the software was developed).It works.

Israelbeach Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Wikipedia = libel and slander.

MidgardEagle Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I don't understand HOW it can work, but it does.

olywood9 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I think internet self-governing is brilliant and very encouraging.Justlook on any internet forum, its more than likely they will adopt a democractic model, and really noone is forcing them to do so.

olywood9 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - It works because the vast vast majority of people that edit and create pages and dedicated enthusiasts. Its a modern marvel of human coperation really :)

Jul 7, 2008 - this is a project which everybody in the world will take benefit from, is there anything greater than this fact?

acidic2007 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I live off of Wikipedia

ehackster Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - The answer to that is quite easy my friend: Neutrality.

TheTatterdemalion2 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - There are no "moderators" on Wikipedia. The reason we have a problem with ethnocentrists and nationalists on Wikipedia is that they don't realize that they themselves are incredibly biased, and therefore assume that everything that is neutral is actually biased in favor of the opposing side.

TheTatterdemalion2 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Look, here's a challenge I'll make to you (although I don't know why I bother). You say that there are no anti-Israel articles or Pro-Arab articles on Wikipedia. On this I will agree, as Wikipedia is not supposed to show favor, and is supposed to be neutral. However, I have yet to find a single article that is anti-Arab or, as you would say, "pro-Jewish".

TheTatterdemalion2 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - So, if Wikipedia is as incredibly biased as you say it is, then it shouldn't be hard for you to show me an article that is blatantly biased or slanderous. Go ahead, show me.

ddball1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I love wiki. I also am very frustrated by it. Sadly, I cannot contribute without being opposed.

NHRHS2010 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Who is opposing you? And why exactly are you being opposed?

ddball1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - You don't need an office for office politics. It is all innocent enough. I tried to contribute in areas I knew of, including public information about my family. Some felt I was a shameless self promoter and took it upon themselves to examine anything I posted, removing it on pretexts that were vastly inflated. It is a learning experience, and they were right on some counts. But also frustrating.

cuqui1 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I'm getting really tired of the TED intro video.
