Wikipedia is to information what democracy once was to government: of the people, for the people, by the people.
Exactly! I realise that people might associate it with a certain Peoples republic (ironic, since said People's Republic are blocking us), But I really do think it describes us fairly well.
Information of the world, unite!
There is a risk that we will put all primary sources out of business:
Wikipedia - the encyclopaedia you used to be able to edit.
Journals seem to be pretty robust (although there are various projects to change the current system) and there seem to be a large number of people rather attached to dead tree technology.
