Wikipedia Editors

This is the follow up assignment to the Wikipedia Reliability Worksheet in which we provide feedback on the article editors.

The 3 editors I selected from my article all seem to believe in Wikipedia and it's goals. They have concerns about the Wikipedia community:

• bringing in new editors to sustain and improve Wikipedia well into the future
• particular biases and squabbles among editors 
• pecking orders among various editors

Overall, seeing their pages increases the validity of the article because I can see their credentials. Knowing there are these disputes/concerns in the background as editors work to apply the foundation of neutrality helps me to see them as individuals working toward a common goal rather than a conspiracy. Freedom.

It is a little disconcerting because I do find myself wondering about their biases and whether that would taint their articles but everything I've seen so far has been, by far, neutral.

Less Wrong is a wiki page link from a Wikipedia editor.  It's full of hyperlinks to tons of reading on increasing one's rational and logical thought processes. It's definitely something I plan to read!
