[WEB4LIB] Help with commentaries about Wikipedia

[D.H. Mattison]

If you do a Google search you can use a string like < "criticism of
wikipedia" -site:wikipedia.org > to eliminate all content originating
directly from the Wikipedia site. It's short list. You can try variants of
that phrasing/vocabulary to get other results. For example, < "wikipedia
criticism" -site:wikipedia.org > yields one result.

One of the results from the first search example, Disinfopedia.org's article
on Wikipedia (http://www.disinfopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia)
references Sam Williams, "Everyone is an editor", Salon, April 27, 2004
(http://www.salon.com/tech/feature/2004/04/27/wikipedia/index_np.html -
requires a subscription for full content).

Have you tried searching full-text commercial databases or some of the free
full-text databases and eprint/preprint archives?

I did find one citation in the xArchiv.org site which had "wiki" in the
abstract, but isn't about Wikipedia: "WebTeach in practice: the entrance
test to the Engineering faculty in Florence" by Franco Bagnoli, Fabio
Franci, Francesco Mugelli, and Andrea Sterbini.
