"Almost every time I saw a substantive edit, I found the user who had contributed it was not an active user of the site. They generally had made less than 50 edits (typically around 10), usually on related pages. Most never even bothered to create an account."-- Aaron Swartz, Raw Thought: Who Writes Wikipedia?^[1]

...Wikipedia [is] simultaneously a shining, flawless collection of incontrovertible information, and a debased pile of meaningless words thrown together by uneducated lemurs with political agendas.^[2]
