 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
Note: The purpose of this page is primarily for me to organize ideas for a research paper that I am currently writing.
It will mainly be concerned with the evaluation of Wikipedia's status as a source, with an emphasis on how the Wikipedian community is responding to critical concerns and controversy surrounding its "anyone can edit" approach.
