My Thinking On Wikipedia

 * 2007.08.27:
 * Verifiability of content is a PARTIAL solution of editor's anonymity. The editor uses his "own language" to describe other's opinions.


 * 2007.06.25, Ioannina:
 * The main advantage of wikipedia is its OPEN and COLLABORATIVE nature.


 * Information and knowledge is SUBJECTIVE in a considerable degree.


 * Wikepedia's software (MediaWiki) can not check for the validity of the text its authors enter.


 * Because of the above, if wikipedia wants to really make use of its advantage, it must add the subjectivity in its articles by adding the author and date of every text entered.


 * Then the READERS of wikipedia will be the ONLY one's who will trust what they read depending on its trust on the author of the text. Wikipedia will be the place to store the existing valid and not valid knowledge.


 * In the future, will come other technologies which will help the authors to write more consistent and valid knowledge. But this is not a MediaWiki's property. Wikipedia must take advantage of what it has: openness and collaborativeness.
