| "Flying Under The Radar" |
| Despite my contributions, I'm almost never recognized. But in the long run I just like to do my part. Despite wiki's criticisms I believe in the philosophy of why this site was created: "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s what we’re doing. ~ Jimbo Wales" |
| My Wiki Views |
| Heavily Pop Cultured and Western bias |
| It's sad that Wikipedia tends to become a place for fancruft and tabloid gossip rather than say, scientific or historical information. Many influential figures who have shaped society don't even have an article or their info is seriously lacking yet many fictional characters have categories devoted to them. I'm all for having detailed summaries of episodes of The Simpsons but it would be nice to also have the effort placed toward historical events. |
| The Dangers of "Google"pedia |
| Everytime I go on the Articles for Deletion section, there is always the argument of how many "google hits" there are. However, google is not the be all and end all of verifying notabilty. The overall problem with wiki is this site is verified by search engines with not enough citations from actually texts. There are for example, many notable people in India who had articles on here but because they could not be verified via google, they were subsequently deleted. |
| Copyright Paranoia |
| If one section of an article is your standard copy and paste why is there the need to slap a copyvio tag on the article? Why not just take the time and rewrite? What's particularly annoying and unneccessary is to place a copyvio tag rather than look at the edit history and revert the violation. If the entire article was blatant copy vio, then go ahead but I find copyright paranoia extremely disruptive and usually done by those who would rather move on to another article and fix some minor grammar mistake than have the inclination to take the time and correct the issue at hand. |
