The Flaws of Open-Source Knowledge
Slate has a great piece up about the flaws and failings of Wikipedia.
Wikipedia mirrors the interests of its writers rather than its readers. You'll find more on Slashdot than The New Yorker. The entry for Cory Doctorow is three times as long as the one for E.L. Doctorow. Film buffs have yet to post a page on Through a Glass Darkly; they're too busy tweaking the seven-part entry on Tron.

There are no flaws in Wikipedia. I spend an average of 3 hours a day on Wikipedia. It is one of the top 10 best things that ever happened to me. Like an over-zealous mother, I see no flaws, there are no flaws, only voluminous amounts of unconditional love.
