[WEB4LIB] Help with commentaries about Wikipedia

[Freeman, Brook J.]

If you are using google to search for websites the search 'wikipedia
site: -wikipedia.org' does properly exclude anything with
'wikipedia.org' in the url.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Help with commentaries about Wikipedia


 
Folks,

I could use some help here. I am working on a short assesment on web
based encyclopaedias and would like some pointers to (preferably) web
sites with commentaries about Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/),
preferably critical. Any pointers, in addition to Alain Vaillancourt's
and other commentaries on the Web4lib list?

It is frustrating searching for this because search engines give with
the word "wikipedia" as search term pointers to articles *in* the
Wikipedia and they drown out any stuff *about* the Wikipedia. Therefore
this appeal to more selective and and experienced knowledge of
distinguished colleagues!
