See, it's tempting to say that...until you realize that the moments
when we're at our worst are those in which we most strongly resemble
the internet at large, and in which Wikipedia editors behave like your
standard internet denizens. Having these things around makes it
mighty easy for folks to forget that we're in the free encyclopedia
business. We're already well behind in the battle against standard
internet practice of grabbing random images or text from wherever and
barely even kicking when it comes to advancing the crazy notion of
checking your facts with print sources; this being the case let's
think about what we can do to make ourselves more distinct from the
myspaces of the world, not less.
