Wikipedia co-founder criticises project

category international | arts and media | other press author Monday January 03, 2005 17:03author by R. Isible Report this post to the editors

More problems of Open Publishing

Larry Sanger has published a fairly strong criticism of the Wikipedia encyclopedia which relies upon a complete Open Publishing model. He calls for a rethink of what he characterises as a "lack of respect for expertise" and a "radical anti-elitism" because he sees that knowledgeable people are driven away from the project by trolls.

The article is further discussed on Slashdot.org http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/01/03/144207&tid=95&tid=1

It's an interesting point in a highly succesful experiment in Open Publishing which may be of interest to reader-writers of indymedia.ie who are engaged in a similar experiment.
