Wikipedia tightens editing rules
I'm a big Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, fan.
Wikipedia is changing its editing policies due to recent controversies, and I think this will only improve it!
"What we are doing in the long run is pursuing a model of having a stable versions and live versions" - Wikipedia founder, Jimmy Wales.
Wikipedia has also been "experimenting" by requiring contributors to pre-register.
Some of its entries have been less than objective, which is bound to happen since historically anyone can change anything.
Recently, former MTV VJ Adam Curry, considered by many to be the father of podcasting, or godfather of podcasting, or "Podfather," has been implicated in changing Wikipedia entries to highlight his accomplishments and diminish other's accomplishments in the development of podcasting. (what's podcasting? look it up in Wikipedia).
Wikipedia is also the worlds biggest wiki. What's a wiki?? - look it up in Wikipedia.
Who am I? No one - there's no Wikipedia entry for me. Hmmm, maybe "Leader of the free world, legendary deep thinker, a living legend to humanity, fat hairy Greek man, atrocious overeating carnivore, world class procrastinator . . ."
