Wikipedia tightening rules

Filed under: We the Media

Carrying on from Karen’s post earlier in the week, after discovering some libelous and false information posted on the site, Wikipedia has decided to tighten its rules for posting. It’s interesting especially considering Jimmy Wale’s discussion with us earlier this semester and his view that loose posting guidelines were beneficial to community building.
