I just read the critique of Wikipedia. I’m no Wikipedia fanboy, and I know there are valid points to be made along these lines; but the tone of that article came across as bitter and slightly bonkers. The relentless barrage of references, as if they made his point more correct; the crazed typography; the more-or-less ad hominem attacks. It didn’t paint his alternative world of academia in a good light to me, at any rate.
