==Now Is The Wiki Of Our Discontent==

JA: There is a fundamental social wrong that hides at the core of Wikipedia, a wrongness that is complicit with the worst of its content, but far more its cause than its effect.  We need to get at that underlying wrongness if we are going to understand, much less remediate, the problematic phenomena that we see in the Wikipedia domain.  [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 09:12, 12 October 2008 (PDT)

JA: That is one of the reasons why I continue to have reservations about taking the concepts of "crowdsourcing" and "user-generated content" as a basis for our critique of Wikioid phenomena.  Doing that only plays into the dodge of content-blindness (analogous to snow-blindness) that keeps so many would-be critics running around in circles of futility until they get frostbyte and die in the drifts.  So let's watch out for that.  [[User:Jon Awbrey|Jon Awbrey]] 09:22, 12 October 2008 (PDT)
