Talk:Journal Nature study 'fatally flawed', says Britannica
Well i don't know about you but 'not a significant difference in accuracy between the two encyclopædias' is good enough. If Encyclopædia Britianica is prepared to say that about Wikipedia then we done good.--62.6.139.11 14:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Nah, maybe that wasn't clear enough in the article, it was Nature's report that found there was 'not a significant difference in accuracy between the two encyclopædias', Britannica completely denied this.. --Sammysam 14:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Britannica would say that though, because it loses them money if people use wikipedia instead of them Cryomaniac 00:21, 25 March 2006 (UTC).

- No need to blush, this is a good story worth covering. Frankie Roberto 17:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- Why did someone take off the publish tag then? I didn't think it was a bad story. Certainly in comparison to some of today's other published stories. --172.201.94.102 18:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

- WE're not publishing any more wikimedia articles because we're looking like the wikipedia propaganda machine. Its too bad though because this was a well done article. Bawolff ☺☻

Content
editThis article doesn't currently explain WHY EB thinks the study was 'fatally flawed'... Some further summarisation and an example would improve the article... Frankie Roberto 17:53, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
Biased reference
editThe theregister.co.uk article Nature mag cooked Wikipedia study seems to be rather biased, should it be removed? Anarchist42 21:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
- We can reference biased things. we just need to make sure our end resault is unbiased. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:39, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
