A blogger at the LA Times wonders when the "gold rush" will start for people to claim ownership of articles on Knol:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/webscout/2008/07/knol-has-nothin.html
In particular, he pointed out that Knol does not currently have an article about Wikipedia, so I decided to do my part and create one:
http://knol.google.com/k/sheldon-rampton/-/8r9tdjdcsltq/2#
I basically cut-and-pasted the existing Wikipedia article, although I did make one minor correction. The current version fails to credit me as Wikipedia's creator. It mentions some guy named Jimmy Wales instead. Anyway, I fixed it in my Knol version. ;-)
Cutting and pasting wikipedia content without following the terms of the GFDL is rather problematical.
At least he preserved the section entitled History... http://knol.google.com/k/sheldon-rampton/-/8r9tdjdcsltq/2#H0-History
