Wikipedia to add article feedback →
While Wikipedia is one of the most trustworthy sources for historical information, it’s also prone to opinion and politics. The Wikimedia Foundation just announced plans to add “Article Feedback Tool” to their articles, making it simple for readers - who rely on information being accurate and neutral - to quickly identify if a page is a trustworthy source, as voted on by others.
The “Article Feedback Tool” will allow any reader of an article to quickly and easily assess the sourcing, completeness, neutrality, and readability of a Wikipedia article on a five-point scale.
If implemented properly, this is a big win for Wikipedia readers. We will immediately be able to tell if an article is worth our time, without wasting our time.
Is this the first step to Wikipedia going social? Would more people contribute to Wikipedia if you could login with Facebook Connect or Twitter accounts?
