A few more links
I've been busy contributing to Wikipedia, so I'm offering the following links I've recently found with a minimum of comment:

- Nature looks again at Wikipedia, arguing that it has moved from an oligarchy to a democracy. I thought a democracy voted on things; this study merely shows that everyone has an increasingly equal voice in the content. (Thanks to Keith Old.)
- On the other hand, this blogger argues that Wikipedia is disproportionately Libertarian.
- And the article that started the latest discussion on notability, "Evicted from Wikipedia" from Slate. Ben Yates at Wikipedia Blog uses this to point out some of the problems with notability standards.

Geoff, another Wikipedian responded to my political survey by creating a much more exhaustive survey of Wikipedians by politics. He took a more global approach and found a strong liberal tilt among Wikipedians. I posted his findings: http://blog.valuewiki.com/2007/03/02/wikipedia-statistics-suggest-strong-liberal-bias/
