Internet Credibility and Wikipedia
Dave Winer on the need to "determine what authority means in the age of Internet scholarship."
Scripting News: 12/2/2005: "Every fact in there must be considered partisan, written by someone with a confict of interest. Further, we need to determine what authority means in the age of Internet scholarship. And we need to take a step back and ask if we really want the participants in history to write and rewrite the history. Isn't there a place in this century for historians, non-participants who observe and report on the events?"
