Can History be Open Source? 
Wikipedia and the Future of the Past

Sunday, June 25th in Wiki, Bildung by LH 

Der US-Historiker Roy Rosenzweig würdigt in einem Essay (The 
Journal of American History Volume 93, Number 1 (June, 2006): 
117-46) ausführlich die Stärken und Schwächen der Wikipedia als 
fachwissenschaftlichem Medium:

    Although Wikipedia as a product is problematic as a sole 
source of information, the process of creating Wikipedia fosters an 
appreciation of the very skills that historians try to teach. (?) 
Wikipedia has even developed its own form of peer review in its 
debates on whether articles deserve ?featured article? status. (?) 
Thus, those who create Wikipedia?s articles and debate their 
contents are involved in an astonishingly intense and widespread 
process of democratic self-education.
