And in this corner
Wikipedia's founder Jimmy Wales goes toe-to-toe with Dale Hoiberg, editor-in-chief of Britannica in the WSJ's article, Will Wikipedia Mean the End Of Traditional Encyclopedias?
Mr. Hoiberg: No, we don’t publish rough drafts. We want our articles to be correct before they are published. We stand behind our process, based on trained editors and fact-checkers, more than 4,000 experts, and sound writing. Our model works well. Wikipedia is very different, but nothing in their model suggests we should change what we do.
Mr. Wales: Fitting words for an epitaph… Wales wins by KO.
Jarvis spotted this one and posts some additional thoughts, but the WSJ article pretty much says it all.
