:: I'm not with GodAsMyWitness here.  Wikipedia forged new ground, that does not mean that Wikipedia DID IT RIGHT.  A Wiki's quality could be said to be no better than the quality of its least editor.  For wikipedia this means any person on the planet.  A required registration is a step up, and though it might not be sufficient, it is a step toward quality improvement.

::: It "could be said," but that wouldn't make it true. I don't know how to measure exactly how well Wikipedia "works" or how "good" it is, but I would say it works very well and is very good. I would also say it works ''surprisingly'' well and is ''surprisingly'' good, because it is much better than most people (including me) would have guessed, based on a description of how it operates. There are some pretty interesting social dynamics in play there. I don't know how well ''anybody'' understands them. Wikipedia articles are ''much'' better than the quality of its poorest editor. In contrast to, say [[Homosexuality]] here which is exactly as good as the quality of its sole editor. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 10:53, 17 March 2007 (EDT)
