My favorite bits:
*"Not all information is created equal. The bottom layers (the most
ubiquitous, whose sources are the most ephemeral, and with the least amount
of validation) lead to layers with greater dependability, all the way to the
highest layers, made up mostly of academic resources. [...] Wikipedia [...]
is not the bottom layer of authority, nor the top, but in fact the highest
layer without formal vetting. In this unique role, it therefore serves as an
ideal bridge between the validated and unvalidated Web."
"[...] the core challenge is [not] to educate students and researchers about
how to use Wikipedia. [... S]tudents intuitively understand much of that
already. The key challenge for the scholarly community [...] is to work
actively with Wikipedia to strengthen its role in 'pre-research'."*

Vale a leitura. Um belíssimo ponto de vista sobre o
uso da Wikipédia no
meio Académico.

*Imagine um mundo onde é dada a qualquer pessoa a possibilidade de ter
livre acesso ao somatório de todo o conhecimento humano. É isso o que
estamos a fazer.*
