Wikipedia Reliability Redux

Wikipedia Reliability Redux 09/09/2004 03:51 AM
It seems we created quite the unexpected monster with our Wikipedia stories from a few weeks ago. The post that generated most of the interest, where Al Fasoldt suggested Wikipedia was outra geous, repugnant and dangerous has also caused quite a bit of activity in many different sectors. A few people took me up on the suggestion that errors be purposely (but temporarily) introduced to Wikipedia, with varying results. Some had the errors corrected, others didn't. This "test" alone generated a storm of controversy. People, including Jimmy Wales (founder of Wikipedia) complained about this kind of "vandalism." While I agree that it's bad, and regret that it's been used a bunch of times, if Wikipedia is to deal with the criticisms it receives, this whole controversy should only make it stronger. And, in fact, that appears to be what's happening. Mark Glaser has a good article summarizing much of the original controversy and spending plenty of time on new plans (from a few different sources including both Jimmy Wales and Ross Mayfield of Socialtext) to work on better ways to demonstrate and prove Wikipedia's reliability and trustworthiness as a source for journalists. This includes formal fact-check procedures and the possibility of a "verified" notation in Wikipedia. Both of these sound like great ideas that should only help to take Wikipedia to the next level. Still, it appears that news organizations like CNN are quite comfortable using Wikipedia as a source, as noted in a recent article where they use it to back up some of the information they provide. This, of course, is horrifying to Fasoldt, who is quoted in the Glaser piece as saying wikis should never be used as a source. As for my conversation with Fasoldt, it continued after that piece and took a turn towards the bizarre. I avoided it for a while, but Fasoldt kept focusing in on the importance of "certified" professionals, which he believed had no place in Wikipedia. He repeated (3 times!) that no one would ever trust a brain surgeon trained only on Wikipedia -- ignoring the fact (which was sent in response) that no one would trust a brain surgeon trained only on the Encyclopedia Britannica either. However, after repeatedly claiming that only certified experts can have an opinion on things, I sent him two academic papers on Wikipedia's reliability and one article by a Columbia journalism professor. It seemed that, here were credible, certified experts showing that Wikipedia appeared to be quite reliable in many cases. Suddenly, it turned out that Fasoldt had no more interest in certified experts -- because those certified experts told him he was wrong. For all his focus on certified experts, I asked him if he thought these certified experts were lying. Fasoldt ignored the question a few times before reverting to direct and repeated insults. Based on this conversation, which included plenty of insults, but not a single instance of him backing up a claim, I'm afraid I still need to lean towards Wikipedia over Al Fasoldt on which is more trustworthy. However, for all the mess this caused, it looks as though the eventual good from these efforts to make Wikipedia more reliable should make it worthwhile.

Ray Bradbury's Bizarre Complaint

Ray Bradbury's Bizarre Complaint 06/20/2004 12:12 AM

Ray Bradbury is one of the great science fiction writers. But in his advancing years he's also acting in a fairly petty manner. The author of the brilliant novel "Fahrenheit 451" is claiming to anyone who'll listen (AP) that Michael Moore has somehow committed an act of intellectual theft by naming his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" without asking permission. He may have a shadow of a point here, but not much more than that. Here's why. First, you can't copyright a title. See "What is Not Protected by Copyright" on the website of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. If Bradbury or anyone connected to him is even thinking of suing, forget it. (There's no trademark on the expression "Fahrenheit 9/11", by the way.) Second, Moore didn't use the same title. He did a word-play on Bradbury's book -- a clever gimmick that resonated with anyone who'd read the novel, a stark warning against totalitarianism and call for people to think for themselves. This kind of thing goes on all the time, and it's part of the artistic process -- building on what came before by using cultural references (of which Fahrenheit 451 is deservedly one) in new creative works. Third, as several people have noted, Bradbury -- author of "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (William Shakespeare) and "I Sing the Body Electric" (Walt Whitman)-- wasn't what you'd call fastidious when it came to totally original titles (not that he should have been). Apparently Bradbury is mostly bothered by Moore's title for commercial reasons, because of an upcoming movie based on his book. (Francois Truffaut did a weird adaptation in the 1960s.) I heard him on a local talk-radio station today, and after he dumped on Moore he seemed cheerful enough in talking about the picture. He's certainly getting plenty of publicity mileage, anyway. The host of the far-right-wing radio show was abysmally uninformed, meanwhile. She was asking him if he planned to sue Moore. Bradbury wisely indicated no such plans, because he'd likely be laughed out of court. (The host also read approvingly from the Foreword to an early edition of the book. It was by a teacher at a Quaker school. She plainly missed the irony.) Moore would have been smart to send a letter to Bradbury months ago, saying the name of his new film was an homage to one of the essential pro-freedom and pro-thinking literary works of recent times. Bradbury would be smart to let this go.
