- Wikitruth
Wikitruth is a website that critiques
and lampoons Pseudopedia. It runs
on the MediaWiki software but is not editable
by the public; it has a limited GFDL content of about 137
articles, composed by about a dozen
contributorsweblink, but
appears to attract a disproportionate amount
of traffic.
The site posits that there are
fundamental problems with Wikipedia's
structure, focusing in part on actions and
statements from prominent Wikimedia
Foundation members like Jimmy Wales; the concept of
vandalism; claimed censorship; and
aspects of the culture of Wikipedia. It is
also a self-described "scandal sheet" that
castigates certain Wikipedia administrators
and Wikimedia Foundation members for
perceived character flaws.
Although the
tone tends to be caustic and obscene, the
underlying intent, according to the site, is
to improve Wikipedia: "Make no mistake, we
wouldn't be bitching this much about
Wikipedia and Wikipedian failings if we
didn't, at the core, love the whole concept.
... We really do think the basic idea is
great; it's the implementation we
have issues with." ...

- The Messiness of WikiDemocracy
This protected article by M.R.M. Parrott
first appeared on rimric folio, Spring
2004.
"Participating in a Wiki brings many
of the same feelings of freedom as having
one's own website or participating in a
discussion forum, but there are serious
pitfalls to consider, especially for a
larger, public Wiki."
In the early
years of the century, a new form of making a
website through
collaboration has come into its own. "Wiki wiki" (Hawaiian for
"quick", "WikiWiki" in CamelCase) used as
inspiration for what we could call "wiki
websites", are sites using one or several
display technologies allowing anyone to edit
their webpages. Currently, the most famous of
such websites is Pseudopedia, an
online encyclopedia-like information site
purporting to provide the canon of human
knowledge, but it has generated large
problems too, with verifiability, bias, and
social groupthink. Fortunately, there are
many other Wikis, however, such as MeatBall, CommunityWiki, C2, Metaweb, the Wikia multi-wiki "farm",
and many others like GetWiki,
an open policy humanities and technology site
and software. Wikis are springing up on
corporate intranets, too, where employees can
collaborate with each other in a way which
saves their correspondence for others to
read, and frees them from the spam and virus
difficulties of email.
What all of the
Wikis have in common is a cheerful embrace of
democratic values, where information and
communication are to no longer be bound by
the barriers typical of the past. In my own
writingsSeeweblink
for more., I have praised the edifying
power of hypertext, the breaking
down of old walls barring expression, and now
we can add WikiDemocracy to the mix of
new technological approaches allowing
departure from old hierarchies - at least in
ideal form. ...
- WikiSphere
WikiSphere, like
"Blogosphere" (or "BlogoSphere"), refers to
the collection of all Wikis on the
internet, and may be used in CamelCase form. ...
- MeatballWiki
Meatball, or
"MeatballWiki", is a wiki dedicated
to online communities, culture and hypermedia. Its
original goal was to focus on collaborative
hypermedia but topics have ranged from Intellectual
Property to Cyberpunk to the
confusion of URIs.
Meatball also hosts various project journals,
and in particular, has influenced much of the
design of UseModWiki, considered
a "classic" wiki software package.
Because
of its role as a "community about
communities", it has become the launching
point for various other wiki-based projects,
and a central resource for the wider WikiSphere. While its
aims do not explicitly include becoming a
center of this community, the
content it produces is well-suited to use as
reference materials elsewhere. ...
