Criticism and controversy

Quote: "The Wikipedia concept, if turned right side up, could be a boon to mankind. Allowing named and credentialed scholars from around the world to collaborate in their area of expertise could revolutionize the speedy advancement of knowledge." Edwin Black (April 12, 2010). Wikipedia—The Dumbing Down of World Knowledge. The Cutting Edge. Retrieved on 2011-10-25.
  • Timothy Messer-Kruse (Feb 17, 2012). The 'Undue Weight' of Truth on Wikipedia. Chronicle of Higher Education. Retrieved on 2012-02-14. details the efforts of Timothy Messer-Kruse to correct the treatment on WP of the 1886 trials related to the Haymarket riot. He ran into objections based on "verifiability vs. truth" , "majority vs. minority views", "primary vs. secondary sources", and "original research", all of which were employed to obstruct an authoritative account on WP.
