I created a new page, this time I did it right. Angela would be proud.
[[Wikipedia:anti-elitism]] is based on a couple of Internet articles that old guy, whatsisname, some philosophy professor who helped out for a few
months in Wikipedia's early days. Oh, yeah, Larry Sanger.
I was wondering where all this VFD-RFC-RFA stuff was really heading, so I dipped into MeatBall, and that led me to the social dynamics of wikis - which ended up with Larry's critique of Wikipedia's anti-elitism.
He sees it as causing our 2 biggest problems:
- a perception of unreliability (justified or not)
- an often unpleasant an even hostile working atmosphere
Well, I'm off to my 5:30 P.M. irc meeting. Do check out the proposed policy page, if you're interested in the big picture. Sanger's no slouch.
