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. "

WIKIPEDIA: A twenty-four COMMUNITY deceive users'
ROME - More than a 'nom de plume' was created as a new Fernando Pessoa, a heteronym. Under the austere and professorial guise of Essjay, Ph.D. an expert in the history of religions, especially Catholicism, an enterprising young man of 24 years has mocked the community of users and supporters Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia multilingual and accessible to all via the Internet.
The alias of Essjay was Ryan Jordan chose to make a profit or loss as an administrator and Editor, by Wikia, a company related multimedia encyclopedia. Case of Jordan, who had presented to users as lecturer in canon law at a private university, he is entrusted with the International Herald Tribune and, last week, has written the weekly New Yorker. For the leaders of the Commons was not easy to go back to his true identity, since the person concerned had avoided for months to respond to emails in which they were trying to get in touch with him.
His explanation was that the alias he used to escape the 'ambush' of hundreds of readers, who would have flooded with messages and requests for further study, something that would have taken excessive time and energy. But if this explanation was found to have initially by a number of players at the end did not convince the majority of users, who have felt cheated and have put into question the transparency that should be the basic computer system which is based on Wikipedia.
For the company instead, said the IHT, the fact that at the end of all editorial interventions traces remain available to users is just a test of the system of transparency and good faith of those who manage it. Jimmy Wales, Wikipedia co-founder and driving force behind its growth, had initially said he had received an apology from Jordan for the possible reputational damage caused to the encyclopedia, adding that they have accepted, in recognition of the fact that the boy had correctness of content made with thousands of operations as editor-reviewer.
But for the majority degli utenti la frode é rimasta e in sostanza si riassume in 'abuso di titolo' e nell'aver carpito la buona fede del pubblico. Wales, che nel frattempo ha cambiato opinione e indurito la sua posizione nei confronti del collaboratore, sabato scorso ne ha chiesto le dimissioni. Stavolta Jordan non ha giocato sull'equivoco e le ha prontamente presentate. E forse, con lui, è uscito di scena anche il suo eteronimo.
