WIKIPEDIA BLACKOUT
2012-01-17 07:04:00 Wikipedia and founder Jimmy Wales will be protesting the U.S. Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA) today. The English version of the online user-based encyclopedia will not be greeting visitors with the usual search bar and information. Instead, those that log on can expect to read the company's stance on the bills and information on how to take action against them. Online news link service, Reddit will also join Wikipedia in the 24-hour blackout. Fight the power!
Guru?s Partisans Banned From Editing Of Wiki ?Sathya Sai Baba? Entry
2011-01-24 00:39:00 Like 'democracy' itself, the Wikipedia online encyclopedia can be a great idea. Against large odds, it has just reached its first decade of existence. Wiki is meant to be a vast knowledge base on almost an infinity of topics. Servers worldwide ensure that it is kept secure and online, and that anyone from anywhere, given that one is equipped with a computer and an internet account, can contribute. That is to say - supposedly - provided they adhere to certain laid-down guidelines and methods. There is also a system of arbitrators - dotted (some would say, far too sparsely dotted) round the world - who can assist contributors who fall into difficulty or dispute. The theory is that errors are wide open to be corrected by the original contributor or other users, if not at once then over time. Prima facie, what can be more 'democratic' than all this? The Wiki catch-cry is: anyone can edit. However, what suppose many cannot edit for nuts?! Alike, many lay and academic contributor...

2008-01-07 16:30:00 Wikia Search Alpha has been launced today.About Wikia Search:Wikia is working to develop and popularize a freely licensed (open source) search engine. What you see here is our first alpha release.We are aware that the quality of the search results is low.Wikia's search engine concept is that of trusted user feedback from a community of users acting together in an open, transparent, public way. Of course, before we start, we have no user feedback data. So the results are pretty bad. But we expect them to improve rapidly in coming weeks, so please bookmark the site and return often.Right now, the most important thing you can do is help with the "miniarticles" that appear at the top of popular search terms. These will vary in purpose according to the circumstance, but the primary uses will be:Short definitions Disambiguations Photos See also At the bottom of every page is a linke to "Post bug reports here"... please use that link liberally to give us large amounts of feedback.I believ...
Wikia Search to Open to the Public
2008-01-02 20:56:00 Wikipedia Founder Brings Search ProjectBy ANICK JESDANUNNEW YORK (AP) ? The founder of Wikipedia says taking the online encyclopedia's collaborative approach into the field of search won't dethrone Google Inc. or another major search engine ? at least not soon.After months of talk and a few weeks of invitation-only testing, Wikia Search is to open to the general public next week.Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales says his goal is to let volunteers improve search technology collectively, the way Wikipedia lets anyone add or change entries, regardless of expertise."That reduces the sort of bottleneck of two or three firms really controlling the flow of search traffic," said Wales, chairman of Wikia Inc., the for-profit venture behind the search project.Engineers at Google and other search companies continually tweak their complex software algorithms to improve results and fight spammers ? those who try to artificially boost the rankings of their own sites. Search companies have not discl...
