  > the only conclusion is that the system is flawed. There's a need for a fundamental change in approach There are attempts of creating more "professional" electronic encyclopedia like Citizendium [1] and Scholarpedia [2] but it seems that such tasks are rather hard since Wikipedia solidified its position already, despite flaws [1] - https://en.citizendium.org/ [2] - http://www.scholarpedia.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Kristi Noem hired sculptors to create a Mount Rushmore 'mini-replica' — with Trump 'right next to Abraham Lincoln'

  Larry Sanger was more or less evicted from Wikipedia because his viewpoints and personality conflicted with virtually everyone else, which was, as it still is, made of a broad group of people across the globe. He was with Wikipedia for a year and has criticized the project since he left after his salary was cut. His follow up project, Citizendium is dead. Source: over 2 years ago

• What the hell happened to the wiki?

  Sanger hasn't built anything that amounted to anything. He's been involved with a bunch of failed projects like Citizendium, most of which were based on the premise that Wikipedia is broken because 1) it allows anyone to contribute and 2) it's not conservative enough. History has proved him wrong. Source: over 2 years ago
