A good read on how a prominent composer lost his Wikipedia page—and why Wikipedia is no longer what it used to be
Issue 3
Today’s good read by Ted Gioia is particularly interesting because it highlights the pitfalls of a renowned, trusted resource - Wikipedia. I know our college professors hated Wiki citations (and understandably so). Wikipedia has played an important role in establishing credibility, and it’s been a familiar name for most people in the last decade or so. This was a good read because it made me think about the cracks in the system that can come up when a well-intentioned more “meritocratic” system starts to mess up because of its users.

With peace, love, and weekend vibes,
