Problems with Wikipedia
One problem that stands out in the world and Wikipedia is when Sanger was discriminating against the new comers to the site. People that are just starting out to a page are know as newbees, or nubs. Many times more experienced users are not so kind to newcomers, because they are believed to not know as much. This thought is a closed minded one. Like Jimbo Wales said, “we were all new at some point and with out new contributors the site can not be expected to grow” new users should be encouraged to contribute because the more users writing will give articles with more perspective. When Wales founded Wikipedia, this was his dream. He wanted an easy to use encyclopedia. When pop culture items appear in a source, there is bound to be users with differing opinions. What was eye opening was the offsets of Wikipedia. Conserveapedia was used to control information as much as it is used to learn things.
Another problem is news. When news first breaks, multiple users make entries on that topic. Some examples of this are, hurricane Katrina, September Eleventh, and the death of Tim Russard. The problem with news is somany people are writing on a topic and it is unclear if the topics are being properly edited. Another problem is when an event is old, such as Hurricane Katrina, after time people stop writing about it. If a person looks up a news event from over a year ago, they will probably find dead links, or information that is not updated or checked. This a side affect of everyday people writing news.
