It's not a bad thing for this specific article, no, but if going to the press becomes a dispute resolution strategy, that'd certainly be a bad thing for the health of Wikipedia as a whole.
That said, I don't think the blog post author did anything wrong or anything. Her experience sounds like it could have been a frustrating one. I just don't particularly believe the general conclusions that are quick to be drawn from these one-off experiences about the health of Wikipedia and its viability as an encyclopedia.
- cpncrunch 13y agoPerhaps we just need a better method of dispute resolution on wikipedia - something like a button on the page. It's not always obvious to newbies how to get other editors involved when there is a content dispute between two editors.
