I would have taken this article more seriously, if it hadn't called "Wikipedia" simply "Wiki": * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiWikiWeb * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia Note that "wikip" is a useful shorthand for "Wikipedia" on IRC/IM/etc. but not simply "Wiki". This kind of mental sloppiness always makes me think that the person who say that is an idiot.
