Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip

Peter Hitchens et al

edit

This is London version

edit

It is pleasing that the overall view of the three pundits, who all have a professional association with free speech, is generally positive.

It is illustrative to see how Wikipedia differs from print media.

Tatchell says that "most of his books" are not cited. Actually half were. Murray says that there was "warring" over his article, the history page shows otherwise. Currie says she did not go to the same school as Derek Hatton, yet on her website "the truth, as I wrote it myself" she claims that she went to "the same school as Beatles George Harrison and Sir Paul McCartney" - the Liverpool Institute for Boys. Even Peter Hitchens refers to "the magisterial reliability of the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica" possibly unaware that most of the content has been subsumed into Wikipedia, and that early Britannica (for all that it was a major publishing phenomenon) suffered from extreme bias, and of course now outdated in many fields.

Of course any inaccuracies in the pundits' Wikipedia articles were easily (and speedily) fixed, those in the Mail on Sunday article will remain in the Colindale Newspaper library for many, many years, which is as it should be. However the "faint damns" (in Currie's case not so faint) show the influential in the UK still don't fully understand modern technology.

In summary, like all sources of information understand the nature of your source, with Wikipedia be aware that it is still evolving, and I would say, improving.

Inaccuracies in Wikipedia are easily fixed, those in the Mail on Sunday remain for ever. Understand the (improving) nature of Wikipedia.
