Wikipedia has started to hit the big time.  Accordingly, several critical     articles have come out, including "The Faith-Based     Encyclopedia" by a former editor-in-chief of Britannica and a very     widely-syndicated AP article that was given such titles as "When     Information Access Is So Easy, Truth Can Be Elusive".    These articles are written by people who appear not to appreciate the merits of Wikipedia fully.  I do, however; I co-founded Wikipedia.  (I have since left the project.)    Wikipedia does have two big problems, and attention to them is long overdue.  These problems     could be eliminated by eliminating a single root problem.  If the project's     managers are not willing to solve it, I fear a fork (a new edition under new     management, for the non-techies reading this) will probably be necessary.

Tycho:  Our newest comic is available here, regarding the blogger that Nintendo fired recently.  As usual, Gabriel and I disagree absolutely on virtually every point of this discussion, my own perspective favoring greater liberty while he presents a naked defense of fascism.  The two universal axioms we were both able to agree upon were that:

Tycho:  It's hard to imagine not having access to a deep reservoir of supernatural knowledge to enrich and inform my daily life.  As early as age thirteen I was already curating a collection of incredible facts, highly granular assessments of wicked and ancient lizards, up to and including notes on their diet, sleep habits, and taste in home decor.  From the demure to the diabolical, I have sought to build a robust profile of the hidden world.  My very mind is an arsenal.

As in war, there&#39;s plenty of fog and smoke on the political battlefield that makes it hard to see what&#39;s going on. But there is one place in particular that you can go and cut through the competing messages and find a least a kernel of truth.

By Ojala, Marydee  It's human nature to make assumptions. We hear or read something and assume it's true (or untrue) based on our previous experience or on how the information is presented. This can be dangerous.
