Trust you to do something like that (and I bet the ridiculous facts were highly entertaining!). :) I had no idea how adamant the people policing Wikipedia were either, although perhaps they are more so now after the recent issues they've had. Only 2 minutes for it to be tagged for deletion and completely gone within 21 minutes - wow!<BR/><BR/>Liz - I'm actually having my students write a reaction paper to one of the many issues concerning China's censorship of the internet - specifically that Google China filters its results. I've started reading that Post article and it's quite interesting so far. Thanks for posting it! :)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554496180206096813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16867968.post-1140451660813248012006-02-20T11:07:00.000-05:002006-02-20T11:07:00.000-05:00Speaking of wikipedia, here's an interesting Post ...Speaking of wikipedia, here's an interesting Post article: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/02/19/AR2006021901335.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16867968.post-1140440514411085172006-02-20T08:01:00.000-05:002006-02-20T08:01:00.000-05:00ok, so, speaking of wikis... i told you a month ag...ok, so, speaking of wikis... i told you a month ago that i had a wikipedia story to tell, but then i never did. i guess i decided it just wasn't entertaining eough. you had sort of to be there. but i will tell it now.<BR/><BR/>i decided that i had been around long enough and done enough stupid crap that i needed my own entry on wikipedia. now, i knew that they had people who sort of policed the system, but i had no idea how adamant they were. i wrote a little bio, including ridiculous (but true) facts about myself, and posted it at 3:01. by 3:03 it had been tagged for deletion. when things get tagged for deletion there is a period in which users can comment on the article and argue for or against it. by 3:05 i had IMed a number of friends and told them to argue for keeping it. by 3:20 several of my friends had weighed in on it, and like 30 other people had recommended removal. by 3:22 it was gone.<BR/><BR/>those people are ruthless.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16407004502766521788noreply@blogger.com
