Re: [ga] Wikipedia declining, credibility and internal struggles sited

[Peter Dambier <peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Personally Wikipedia reminds me of delete orgies.

I remember more than once reading things like:

"As long as it is not in the Encyclopedia Britannica it is unimportant - 
Deleted."

First I gave up editing, later I gave up reading.
I know people and political groups who did the same.

Nevertheless it is good to have diversity but dont rely in them.


Kind regards
Peter and Karin
