[Foundation-l] WSJ on Wikipedia

[Steven Walling]

So the content of the WSJ article may be behind a paywall, but I just did a
cursory search of the researcher's 2009 Ph.D. thesis which was a quantitative
analysis <http://libresoft.es/Members/jfelipe/phd-thesis> of Wikipedia in
several languages.

I didn't see any of the graphs from the piece or any conclusions in the
thesis which are equivalent to the statements made in the Journal, so this
must be new research.
