An interesting quote from this blog:
Basically, what is happening here is the building of a parallel World Wide Web inside the wikipedia.org domain

Eine Perle:
"Text and concepts for Wikipedia entries are often blatantly copied from other websites. To avoid instant recognition, the text is sometimes rewritten, adding inaccuracies, inconsistencies or even errors. Due to the nature of the content and the open format of Wikipedia, no copyright holder can do anything about this."
(I don't agree with this text but I find it interesting to read most objections to wikipedia condensed on a single non-wikipedia-affiliated page)
Sonnenscheinverwöhnte bitte wegschauen.. Nicht, daß ich glaube, daß er das Prinzip in der letzten Konsequenz verstanden hat...
