The surprise death of Kenneth L. Lay last week did more than throw a monkey wrench into the government's plans to jail and fine the Enron Corp. founder. It further exposed the critical weakness of Wikipedia that prevents it from becoming the go-to source for Internet knowledge that it ought to be.

Excellent article!

Perhaps, but here's that phrase again:

Citizen journalism. Except that these are not "citizens" - the people submitting material to WikiNews could be from anywhere, paid by anyone, with any number of hidden and possibly malicious agendas. Admittedly that's a very negative way of looking at things, but when you're "reporting the news," you have to be able to control who provides the input, simple as that.

There seems to be some question as to whether WikiNews really is trying to portray itself as something it's not. The problem is that you can't simply dismiss it as being on the level of a cheap supermarket tabloid, because it really does have the potential to produce bits of information that would be difficult, or even impossible, to obtain anywhere else. And yet you can't really treat it as "journalism" either, at least not in the strict sense. It's more like chaos theory as it applies to the dissemination of information - much like Wikipedia itself, only happening at a faster rate. It's useful as long as you have no illusions about the nature of what you're seeing.

Moments after news of former Enron CEO Kenneth L. Lay's passing, his online biography had been updated with a new subject heading: "Death." Hunter Chorey, 23, a Charlottesville, Va., resident, was one of many people who revised Lay's entry Wednesday on Wikipedia.org, the editable online encyclopedia.
