I’m a reference on Wikipedia!
After my post “Why is Digg Filled with So Many Assholes?” spent some time on the Digg front page I got a ton of traffic, which is to be expected.
What I didn’t expect was that I would be referenced on Wikipedia, oh the power of the web.
On Wikipedia’s entry for “Digg.com” the statement “It has been suggested that any bias that does exist is due to a fundamentally flawed design in Diggs comment moderation system” is attributed to my site, that has to be one of the coolest digg after effects yet.
Apparently what I was saying took root with at least one person, I’m glad that my thoughts got out there and I hope that they cause a positive change in the digg community.
Thanks again to everyone who commented on my article, especially the intelligent criticisms.
You’re not a reference any more… that was short lived :p
It really should not be referenced on Wikipedia. I mean no insult to your blog, but if personal blogs were appropriate references for Wikipedia, it would be filled with opinion and hearsay. Well, even more opinion and hearsay.
but wikipedia is nothing but opinion, it’s just that the opinions on wikipedia have a few people behind them.
Besides, the quote clearly did not attempt to come off as factual.
