The core community is passionate about quality and getting it right. If you want to read some good criticisms of Wikipedia, probably the best place to go is to the Wikipedia article called 'criticisms of Wikipedia'... It was either the dumbest thing or the smartest thing I ever did. The dumbest thing for the obvious reasons, but the smartest thing because I don't think it could have had nearly as much impact as it has. One of the key things that inspired people to put a lot into it (was the charity aspect).

Mostly, I try to take a rational approach to life.

I think people have to recognise that the traditional modes of authority weren't that great.

People who have achieved a public voice find it a mixed bag.

You shouldn't use anything as the sole source for anything, in my view.

People are not fundamentally bad. It only takes the smallest of correctives to take care of that tiny minority that wants to disrupt the community.

When I opened Wikipedia, it had three articles, yet it was called an encyclopedia.
