Silicon Valley Insider: Who the hell writes Wikipedia, anyway? (Henry Blodget)

Who writes Wikipedia? (Aaron Swartz)

When it started off, people scoffed at the idea of a community written encyclopedia which is self editing and correcting. They said it was impossible and will not be reliable and accurate like the books. They have never been more wrong. This is idea of small change. When every user makes a small edit, a small format, a small correction, a small addition, they make up to a lot.

Which reminds me, please donate to Wikipedia if you can.
