Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-10-23/In the news

Not covered:

Coverage at large - looks like the work of one person who doesn't have a Wikipedia article on him :) - see html version of article on wikipedia - similar to a printed blog
many references to Citizendium and Wikiepedia
Singapore's Straits Times article refernced here as the article requires subscription fee and I'm not in a position to pay those :)
Sam Vaknin's "Google-Wikipedia-MySpace - How Teenagers Hijacked the Internet" in the Global Politician. - nothing really noteworthy or new imho

Citzendium[edit]

Has it actually published an article? Anyone know? - Ta bu shi da yu 09:43, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not yet. They're doing a lot of discussion and organisational set up at the moment. The wiki has reportedly been up and running internally since 19th October but has not yet been opened up to the Internet. Larry is promising it Real Soon Now though. So maybe next week. -- Derek Ross | Talk 15:52, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JURIST[edit]

Just a note about this, the editor in chief of JURIST edits on Wikipedia as User:Bernard Hibbitts, normally adding links to JURIST entries. The entries I've seen in the topic of which I am knowledgeable are pretty high quality, so I didn't dissuade him, though I did give a mild caution and directed him to look through WP:SPAM. He's interested in doing more work with Wikimedia projects, so perhaps people might be interested in checking in with him or the Signpost may want to interview him about why JURIST, as a Webby winner, uses Wikipedia as a reference. - Banyan Tree 16:11, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
