Wikipedia's New Editorial Line of Defense

27 Aug '09

Dear Friends, Wikipedia's New Editorial Line of Defense The managers of Wikipedia have reportedly decided to begin controlling exactly what may be written on the pages of the online encyclopedia, at least as far as entries about still-living persons are concerned. The move is a step back from the site's everyone's-an-editor stance, but it might also say something about Wikipedia's role as a widely viewed repository of information. Source: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/67954.html?u=dineshsiddaiah&p=ENNSS_fb7e… Thanking You, Dinesh -- Dr. Dinesh K. S.
