A War of Words ver Wikipedia’s Spanish Version
New York Times
?China-Taiwan relations for example are a long-standing source of world tension surpassed by a rare few disputes among them the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Could a bunch of volunteer editors really expect to create articles that please both Chinese and Taiwanese or Israelis as well as Palestinians? Talk about utopian dreams. With more than 500 Wikipedians gathering in fun-loving Buenos Aires for.
Wikipedia’s Most Visited Pages: Beatles Jacko YouTube

Today the world's most popular English encyclopedia is more often used to identify pop culture icons and social media companies. A recent Telegraph article listed the 50 most-viewed Wikipedia articles of 2008 and 2009 and while.
Hewlett Foundation ponies up cash for Wikipedia
Register
Wikipedia is in no position to turn down cash from anyone considering that Wikimedia is dedicated to open source and open content and relies on the kindness of strangers for not only its content but also for the money to keep the Wikipedia project and numerous related projects afloat. But they must have been hoping for more help from the Hewlett Foundation especially when you consider that Hewlett and his partner Dave Packard were engineers from Stanford University created the original Silicon Valley IT startup and had a lifelong dedication to education and the dissemination of news and information.
Speak up for anonymity
Baltimore Sun
A guy in Asia can spend his evening trashing a Canadian woman’s home movies; students can spread malicious rumors about classmates for the world to see; and "editors" can add all manner of falsehoods to Mohandas Gandhi’s Wikipedia page just for kicks. In most cases these ne’er-do-wells write vitriolic comments and blog posts anonymously there are a few fighting words and the dustup dies down with minimal damage.
Stockholm Syndrome and Captive Jaycee Lee Dugard
National Ledger
***”Instead of hating the person who has abducted them they come to empathize with them and view the outside world as the enemy. ” Before this week’s stunning casual walk into a police station to reveal exactly who she was “Jaycee Lee Dugard was last seen as she walked to her bus stop in South Lake Tahoe California on June 10 1991″ reports the FBI. The Nevada Appeal notes in a report on the question of if Dugard possibly suffered from Stockholm syndrome and cites “a number of articles by the Federal Bureau of Investigation the syndrome was first observed in Stockholm Sweden in 1973 when robbers held four bank workers in a vault for more than five days. When police finally tried to rescue them several resisted and later refused to testify at the robbers’ trials.
The curious appeal of miscellanea
Boston Globe
And while the newspapers are on their way to financial ruin it’s not because people don’t want information. It is because information has proliferated like Weimar bank notes with everyone shoveling it into wheelbarrows till the old economic arrangements have collapsed. There are 3 million English-language entries on Wikipeda according to the Wikipedia entry on Wikipedia. Yet professionally compiled books of facts are thriving. In 2003 a petite meticulously designed volume titled “Schott’s riginal Miscellany” arrived in the United States from Britain – listing Earth’s atmospheric layers next to sumo weight classes diagramming palmistry lines and the method of tying a bow tie. The “riginal” of the title was part of author Ben Schott’s mock-archaic tone but it also turned out to be a prophecy. “There’s more and more of them every year” said Megan Sullivan the head buyer at the Harvard Book Store.

Position six on Google may mean users have to scroll down to see the result; on Bing users have to click to the second page. “If you are not coming up in the top five [search results] for the very generic terms you are not getting page-one exposure which means you are losing out on 70% to 80% of searchers” said Collin Cornwell VP of natural search at iCrossing. That’s a tough challenge for marketers given that one of the top spots is generally dominated by Wikipedia leaving really only four slots to make an impression. r consider the plight of a movie marketer optimizing a film’s lead actor: the top three results are dominated by IMDb Wikipedia and the actor’s “official” site — leaving only two available. The upside of having results categorized is there’s an opportunity for aggressive marketers to have more than one listing on a page for non-branded queries — not including whatever paid keyword listings the marketer may or may not be buying. For example a search for “heart rate monitor” might pull up the website of manufacturer Polar USA in the first five organic search results and it might also pull up under the video category a Polar demo of how to use a heart rate monitor. Bing also offers different placements for photos and video which means opportunities for marketers that produce both.
