Wikipedia has suffered in the past from ill-informed criticism from outside, and complacencyon the inside. Signs now are that both are diminishing. The idea that an online encyclopediathat anyone can edit can provide high-quality content is increasingly established. Wikipediaentries are rarely perfect, but their flaws are always open to instant remedy; that is a big plus.The outfit also seems to be moving away from its dependence on the charismatic Mr Wales,and from its over-reliance on a narrow caste of Anglophone enthusiasts. Wikipedias survivaland expansion are also encouraging signs for those that worry the internet is in danger ofbecoming too commercial and closed off. Wikipedia is not just collating knowledge: it is makingnews too.
过去不明真相的外界责难维基百科,其内部也渐生自满情绪。现在看来两种情况都有好转。维基百科推广的概念,即任何人都可以给在线百科提供高质量东西越来越得到人们的认可。维基百科的词条几乎都不是尽善尽美的,但是它们随时欢迎人们完善修改,这就大大地给它加分了。维基百科也正在逐步摆脱极富个人魅力的威尔士先生的控制和对一小波讲英语爱好者的过度依赖。对那些担心互联网越来越商业化、越来越孤立的人来说,维基百科逃过一劫继续扩大也是一种积极的信号。它不仅仅是在整理知识,它也在制造资讯。
