It’s one thing to edit Wikipedia; it’s another thing altogether to make that edit stick. Now that Will Wright has been cited in an article published by a third party, an editor has already started the process of changing it via the article’s talk page. Creatives have had a very big problem self-correcting the site, since the official editors have a distrust of uncited sources.
- marak830 12y agoThat is quite a good point, i just get a tad annoyed when people complain wothout trying to edit(i am making an unfounded assumption here though).
- FiatLuxDave 12y agoIs there a startup opportunity in providing a way for creatives to quickly create a cite of themselves or otherwise fix this problem? After all, if you are the actual authority on the release date, some journalist getting it wrong in an article shouldn't trump what you say. I think this would be a good example of something that a team of smart devs could whip up in a short period of time.
