[lbo-talk] Fun with Wikipedia

[Erik Hetzner]

If you really want to make your head hurt, have a look at
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Libertarian_socialism>, where you
can read a very serious discussion regarding whether the entry on
Libertarian socialism ought to be removed because the very term is, I
quote, an "oxymoron". Whether or not you think it is, the discussion
and its premise are simply so stupid that you do have to wonder why
somebody would even bother. If you have to deal with twits like this
in order to work on an article, then perhaps there are better things
to do. Wiki is a good idea for small groups, but it seems to fail
massively over at wikipedia. (There articles on computer science
topics, on the other hand, tend to be pretty good, if you just want to
know, say, what the hell the deal with Haskell is.)
