Thoughtful article in Episteme on Wikipedia. Very good points about the differences of what mass collaboration produces vs that comes from typical editorial collaboration. I am not sure what this ultimately means, or what should be done, but it should be thought through. Had not seen this journal before. Other articles on the subject. Good pieces, though I think the title of this journal scares off many potential readers. Epistemology is the study of the structure, scope and limitations of knowledge.
