sorry, i meant to annotate, not just linkspam.
my favourite quotes from the article are:
"If you don't like an entry, you can fix it yourself. Which is rather like
going to a restaurant for a date, being served terrible food, and then
being told by the waiter where to find the kitchen. But you didn't come out
to cook a meal - you could have done that at home!"
and:
"[on the argument that] looking up a Wikipedia is faster than using an
alternative. This line of argument is even weaker than the first: it's like
going to a restaurant for a date - and being pelted with rotten food,
thrown at you at high velocity by the waiter."
