The Wikitruth project: challenging weaknesses in Wikipedia’s governance
Every project needs checks and balances and democratic control, and that includes peer production and peer governance processes such as the Wikipedia.
Wiki Truth is an interesting project to monitor abuses inside the Wikipedia process, and it does not seem welcomed by the Wikipedia leadership itself, which seems unfortunate.
“Wikitruth is a website dedicated to the subject of flaws and issues with the Wikipedia, another website run by Jimbo Wales and a massive, insane army of Wikipedians that he controls with his mind rays. It’s very hard to really explain Wikipedia, but if you visit it, it says it wants to be “the free encylopedia that anyone can edit”. Instead, however, it is often filled with crazy people, experiences some issues with manipulative personalities, and falls prey to abuse and censorship. And that’s a real shame.“
