The Chronicle of Higher Education: The Wired Campus has an article on The Wikipedia Revolution by Andrew Lih. Lih is a long-time Wikipedia administrator and relates details about Wikipedia’s evolution from a unique insider perspective. From the article:
Let’s get this out of the way now: The Wikipedia Revolution (subtitled How a Bunch of Nobodies Created the World’s Greatest Encyclopedia) paints a reasonably rosy view of the open-source encyclopedia. In Mr. Lih’s telling, Wikipedia’s neutral-point-of-view policy “has worked remarkably well,” its “clinical, just-the-facts style” is “endearing,” and the site itself is “a spectacular success.” Skeptics and agnostics, beware.
