Jimmy Wales first starts of by discussing the architect of Wikipedia, which is a freely licensed encyclopedia written by thousands of volunteers in many languages and is truly global. It’s written by using wiki software, meaning that anyone can join and edit. Wales says it’s managed by virtually all-volunteer staff within a close community.
It’s a free online encyclopedia, which enables its volunteer contributors to collaborating, created, self-organizing, self-correcting an ever-growing multilingual encyclopedia. According to Wales it’s funded by donation from public and is in the top 50 websites and more popular then the New York Times, which employees 100s while Wikipedia employees only one, which is the led software developer.
He also states that one of the most important components that assist with Wikipedia’s Manage quality control is its neutrality policy. A policy that’s carries a Neutral Point of View meaning it social concept of co-operation, avoids some philosophical issues. The Diverse political, religious, cultural backgrounds of its community Wales says are kept together by our NPOV policy. This policy also may make it less controversial then offers.
When addressing the question on how good is Wikipedia he says its not perfect but pretty good considering its crazy model. Wales says when comparing Wikipedia to traditional sources they win hands-down. Wales also uses an example of a quality test done by a German magazine, which tested German Wikipedia. The German magazine found, according to Wales – its not perfect, but much better than you would expect – comparing Wikipedia to traditional sources shows Wikipedia to be generally superior, though weak in some areas. Better then some others such as: Microsoft in carter & Brock house multimedia.
