Wikipedia is 5 years old

Wikipedia turns 6 5 years old on January 15, 2006. The famous information resource on the web has served billions of query over the years, despite its accuracy and credibility was under fire a few times over past few months. The issues raised mostly related to people modified entries related to them, or false/fraud information. That including Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, edited his own biography around 18 times, everybody-known podcaster Adam Curry’s edting of Podcasting entry, and the false claim on JFK murder.

Wikipedia, which based on the open source collaboration software — Wiki, allows anyone who read the web adding, editing and voting for entries’ removal. That brings the never-ending debate about its credibility and accuracy of information. What’s people really worry about?

Without knowing the authority behind the article, there’s always a chance something is missed out

EVERYBODY could create the history. That made people worry

However, the physical encyclopedia in the real world, which has a team of experts proof-reading, made mistake too. Taking out the controvesary related to human and history, Wikipedia did a very good job on most other items — especially on those objective fact and information of technology. For years, it’s always my 1st or 2nd choice when I meet any unknown term (the other one is Google). Even come to history, does it so scary that it might bend the “official” history a bit? History is used to be the stuff controlled by authority — and Wikipedia is the pen given to people. What’s more important, it’s the transparency it guaranteed. Think about how web surfers found out all the details people’s editing their own biography? Because Wiki, as a collaboration and documenting web service, it keep everything in version control. So the Wikipedia users get to see the changes over time, if they do spend the time to dig through.

Wikipedia is in fact ~~considering to~~ start applying editing only by users, lock most of the text to anonymous. With the transparency of the process, I still have the faith to it. My favourite tool.
