mack/misophist | BS: Wikipedia Boo-Boo (44) | RE: BS: Wikipedia Boo-Boo | 16 Mar 07 |
Ars Technica recently did an interesting experiment. Some grad students were asked to read 2 wikipedia articles, one in their field of expertise and one outside of it, then rate each for accuracy. They consistantly rated the acticles within their specialities higher than those outside them. The test really reflected wikipedia's reputation, not it's accuracy in uncontroversial technical subjects. |
