Reads like an advert
[edit]This review reads like an advert for the book and Wikipedia. No mention is made of
- http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/What_is_a_troll%3F TROLLS
- the need for editors to do constant reverts to remove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism VANDALISM from Wikipedia
- the numerous unsourced articles and statements in Wikipedia
- Wikipedia's unique formatting for links, both "external" and "internal". It takes considerable time to thoroughly understand this.
Don't get me wrong, I like Wikipedia. But frankly, I don't trust it. I ignore unsourced statements, and I check sources when given. Many sources are biased trash, not worthy of Wikipedia mention.
I know you need to raise money for Wikipedia, but I think this is a clear advert and should be removed.
