Is Wikipedia Dying or Just Maturing?

There was a very interesting front-page article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday by Julia Angwin and Geoffrey Fowler wondering whether Wikipedia, the wildly popular online encyclopedia, was dying because of new posting guidelines which have apparently led to a drop off in the number of volunteers contributing to the site. In their article (”Volunteers [...]

Wikipedia – 2nd post on “Climatic Research Unit e-mail hacking incident”

Overnight, the Freedom of Information section was flushed down the memory hole (at least) two more times. One of the new tricks that the censors are using is to remove the links to the leaked files (because they’re – you know – maybe – copyrighted), and then remove paragraphs talking about the FOI and [...]

Vudu does Wikipedia

Microsoft's WebTV service proved pretty conclusively that the masses don't want to surf the Web on their TVs. They want to watch videos, not browse for bargains on Craigslist. Technologies that integrate Web content into TV programming, on the other hand, seem much more promising. Vudu, which delivers movies on demand through the Internet to TV sets, is launching one example today, adding content streamed...

Wikipedia: as neutral as ever

I added several edits to the Wikipedia article on Climatic Research Unit file release incident: renamed the article from “…e-mail hacking incident” to “…file release incident”, because there is no evidence that there was any hacking …and because much of the interesting materials is not in the emails, but in the other files released added a [...]

Wikipedia loses editors: A crowdsourcing reality check, or a failure of a different kind?

Wikipedia , the online encyclopedia built on the backs of a seemingly never-ending supply of free labor, is in a bit of a bind: Many contributors are throwing in the towel. As reported in a page one story in Monday's Wall Street Journal , "unprecedented numbers of the millions of online volunteers who write, edit and police it are quitting." And, the article adds, not enough new blood is...

Wither Wikipedia?

The Wall Street Journal reports($) that Wikipedia is losing volunteers at a quickening pace, casting some doubt on the future of the world's most popular encyclopedia. Wikipedia.org is the fifth-most-popular Web site in the world, with roughly 325 million monthly visitors. But unprecedented numbers of the millions of online volunteers who write, edit and police it are quitting. That could have significant...

Wikipedia's Brain Drain [Data]

The decay of time, bitter infighting, and the increasing scope and strength of regulations slowly strangle the life out of Wikipedia, with editors—its braintrust—fleeing in droves, even as traffic at the world's fifth most-popular website keeps growing. [ WSJ ]

CHART OF THE DAY: Wikipedia's Editors Quit

Also, Wikipedia has added more stringent rules for the editing process, making it harder for new editors. Wikipedia is recruiting new editors, but says stemming the exodus isn't a big concern. There is no "right" number of editors...

Wikipedia adds a new control system

Wikipedia adds a new control system - jabsaid

Wikipedia, one of the most visited sites in the world, was founded eight years ago in order to create an encyclopedia from voluntary contributions. These were also the same rights, including creating and editing articles. However, while the English version of Wikipedia has just reached the three million articles, this freedom is about to be curbed. It’s three weeks ago that members of the Wikimedia
