Wikipedia - the dark side

For those interested, this makes for interesting reading on some of the darker sides of Wikipedia. Readers may remember my previous post on this. In the mean time we continue to face problems on all the Irish pages with a small group of editors who seem to think that the Good Friday agreement should not (or possibly did not in some cases) have been signed and want to keep all the old sectarian language in play. Its interesting, in general right wins out but crowds are not always wise.

Dave, you're driving a ton of new traffic to my website with this post. Thanks a bunch!

Dave,

Would you support a proposal to embrace "perspectives" in Wikipedia allowing several pages dealing with the same topic but each with a different group of elected editors?

Harold

Dave Snowden:

Well in theory that should be the case within the article, but when it comes to the name of the article its more difficult
