Wikipedia?s dark side: Censorship, revenge editing & bribes a  
significant issue by Mez Breeze

Interesting responses.... please read them as well.

The confusion about the 'genre' of texts this might fit it is  
interesting as well.

The days of just publishing whatever you thought on the web seem to be  
over. We're back where we came from. It has to be either journalistic  
or scientific etc.

PS. Mez Breeze is an Australian net artist and indeed neither a  
journalist nor academic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mez_Breeze

Thanks Geert!

But I would hope that maps like these
[http://www.zerogeography.net/2011/12/article-quality-in-english-wikipedia.html]
would show people that we aren't even close.
