10 ting du ikke vidste om Wikipedia

Wikipedia er verdens største brugerskabte online-leksikon – så langt er de fleste vist med.

Men når jeg er ude og fortælle om sociale medier og deltagelse på nettet er der altid mange spørgsmål til kvaliteten og til styringen af Wikipedia – og til, hvad man må bruge indholdet til?

Nogle af svarene er her – i en artikel skrevet af Wikipedianere om Wikipedia ’10 things you did not know about Wikipedia’

Jeg synes rigtig godt om den her:

6. We do not expect you to trust us.

It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of this. We work hard to keep the ratio of the greatest to the worst as high as possible, of course, and to find helpful ways to tell you in what state an article currently is. Even at its best, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, with all the limitations that entails. It is not a primary source. We ask you not to criticize Wikipedia indiscriminately for its content model but to use it with an informed understanding of what it is and what it isn’t. Also, as some articles may contain errors, please do not use Wikipedia to make critical decisions.
