Wikipedia to Tinge Suspect Entries With Orange Cast
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 02 Sep '09

02 Sep '09

Dear Friends, Wikipedia to Tinge Suspect Entries With Orange Cast Wikipedia plans to roll out a new feature with the goal of enhancing the site's credibility. Called "WikiTrust," the optional feature color codes entries based on reliability, according to a Wikipedia page describing the new development. The color-coding tool gives users a "check text tab" that reveals author, origin and reliability of the text. It has come up with a color-coding scheme that will assign an orange background to less-trustworthy information -- the darker, the more suspect -- and a white background to content that ranks high for accuracy.

Dear Friends, Development of Libraries is Necessary Sri Sam Pitroda, Chairman, National Knowledge Commission, told that, today our country has got 54 thousand libraries and people should make use of these libraries to their needs. He delivered special lecture on ‘Towards the Knowledge Society - The Imperatives’ in Shivarathreeswara Centre, JSS Educational Institutions Premises, 18th Cross, 8th Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore on Sunday 30th Aug 2009. There are libraries established by Scholl, colleges, dept. of public libraries and some of the private libraries. If all these libraries are connected, plenty of knowledge can be gained and preserved, he said. He has highlighted the necessity of establishing the separate National Library Commission. He told that, a well-known person with social concern should be made responsible for the commission. And also he said that, in association with National Library Commission, libraries should be developed with the ultramodern facilities and staff there by common people, students, researchers should use libraries effectively.
