CVD wikipedia? another cog of the slaves of IGB!



A handful of men to govern Wikipedia

An email private administration, made public, reveals the existence of a group of "elect" and privately decided to other users of the free encyclopedia.

[ZEUS News - 06/12/2007 http://www.zeusnews.it/index.php3?ar=stampa&cod=6520]

Legend has it that Wikipedia is a virtual place where you work in harmony and transparency for make knowledge available to all, where problems are discussed in public and dove ognuno può dire la propria.

Una email scritta da una (ormai ex) amministratrice di Wikipedia, Durova, ha però svelato una realtà piuttosto differente.

Costei premeva per il ban di un molto attivo - e perciò sospetto, secondo l'admin - utente di Wikipedia, dal curioso nickname "!!" (doppio punto esclamativo): la Durova lo considerava uno di quelli che tentano di sabotare dall'interno l'enciclopedia libera, scrivendo informazioni fuorvianti o inesatte così da screditarla.

Tutta la discussione sarebbe avvenuta in una mailing list segreta, accessibile solo a pochi amministratori che potevano così decidere delle sorti di Wikipedia lontano dalla folla degli utenti.

Just an administrator, however, posting a private email to Durova, has brought to light this parallel reality, and The Register has also been responsible for spreading the news, which in these hours is making several people to discuss Wikipedia and more.

in addition to the discovery of a "business center secret" of what should be a collaborative effort that has no secrets, there's the fact that the allegations were unfounded Durova enough to force the administrator to resign from office together with the rapid reintegration of "!!". According to James

Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, but it would just "a storm in a teacup" since you wrongly banned was readmitted in just 75 minutes. On the other hand, we know that the same Wales has done everything to silence any dicussion about the secret mailing list, reports The Register again.

that the situation is perceived as serious as demonstrated by the words of Charles Ainswort, also reported by the English website: "I have never seen the Wikipedia community as angry as in this case. I think there was more hidden anger and frustration with the" clique that rules "of what I thought and Durova's aggressive behavior and his arrogant refusal to take sufficient information they did come out."

The problem is not in fact the existence a mailing list for coordination among administrators, but its secrecy and the consequent behavior of the chosen few, a situation in which a project such as Wikipedia did not just come to exist.

This whole story has so angered many and raised the suspicion of an initiative worthy but still, from time to time, has already been criticized for a perceived lack of transparency and democracy. "
