Uh, folks? "Wikitruth editor discusses Wikipedia's failures" - that is a straight reprint from the Guardian. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Articles along the lines of "Collective thinking and Wikipedia" lack a grounding in reality. Only a tiny number of people give a hoot about the alleged motivations behind Wikipedia. Over a hundred million people use Wikipedia each month, and most of them do so just because it is useful, without giving a damn about any of these so-called ideological issues that can be pinned to it. Personally, I couldn't be much further away from being a "maoist" of "collectivist" and it is kind of libellous for people to write out-of-touch-with-reality articles inferring that Wikipedians deserves such tags.

Technically Wikipedia:Articles for creation does fill that role, although of course most new articles never go through that channel. -- Kwekubo 17:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Sanger's article advocates collaboration with "the possibility of a 'lead author'." That sounds like what the Signpost has been doing since January 2005. Articles are signed, but (as far as I can tell) other users are free to make minor changes. – Minh Nguyễn ( talk, contribs) 08:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
