WIKIPEDIA REVISITED on JSTOR

"The July 2005 issue of ETC included an article titled "Wikipedia and the Dissapearing Author" in which I discussed the free, open-content, reader-edited Internet encyclopedia known as Wikipedia.org. The site runs on the technology known as "wiki", which enables any visitor to a wiki site to edit, add to, and even delete the content of any page on the site. The phenomenon has spead to businesses, graternal organizations, schools and even governments, mainly bacause it offers a low-cost way to share information and keep it up to date."
