Actually, it says "hot topics [..] will have to be scrutinised by arbitrators chosen from Wikipedia’s most active volunteer contributors." "Administrators" don't make content decisions. And an administrator who makes decisions about content is no longer acting as an administrator, they are acting as an editor. "Arbitrator" suffices, and gives appropriate connotations. What was interesting about it was the fatalism and give-up-ness, as if somehow people didn't make these criticisms before, and as if those criticisms' dismissal with extreme prejudice never happened. -s Original message: http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/the_web/article5682896.ece Slightly confused article headed "The wiki-snobs are taking over" by Giles Hattersley. Misnames 'administrators' as 'arbitrators'. Towards the end the author claims "My entry features at least two errors, one libellous (unless my mother has been keeping a dark secret, I am not Roy Hattersley's son)" which has me befuddled since there is no entry on Giles Hattersley nor was there ever one (unless it's been oversighted). -- Sam Blacketer _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
