Wikipedia
The idea of an encyclopedia largely written by anonymous contributors does not really appeal to me. The first wiki I joined was run by software developers, engineers really, and it had a policy of RealNamesPlease. Wikipedia's weakness is its insistence that "anyone" be allowed to edit any article any time ...even without registration or identifying themselves. They all want to be Winston Smiths, untraceable. I believe that since the Reagan Era we have seen a voluntary separation of sheeps and goats. Sheep know their Master's voice.
