Chuck, stop dissing one of my favorite Internet projects. ;)
That's what I do best. I'm a librarian, media activist and anarchist. My role is to ask questions and be a curmudgeon.
I've written criticism about Wikipedia on my blog, both positive and negative. As a librarian, I think that it is an awesome project, which really should be better appreciated by people who are stuck in past paradigms about "information accuracy." As an anarchist, Wikipedia troubles me. While the open source nature of the project is very anarchistic, I'm really pissed that right wing assholes are allowed to post falsehoods to the entry on "anarchism." This problem forced me to discontinue my participation in the project.
"*Allowed* to post"? Maybe you're not quite as much of an anarchist as you thought. :-)
