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!
