Taha Yasseri of the Oxford Internet Institute and colleagues looked at Wikipedia’s different language editions from their inception (January 2001 for English) to March 2010 and ranked the most contested articles, based on the number of reverts and the number of edits the contributors have made (dubbed their “maturity score”). The results in some ways confirm cultural stereotypes. Americans bicker over politics and professional wrestling; among the top French squabbles is Freud.

Accroître et enrichir les contenus sur le Québec et son histoire dans Wikipédia, rendre disponibles dans Wikisource nos grands textes historiques et littéraires qui sont du domaine public, diffuser dans Wikimedia Commons des contenus visuels qui expriment la créativité de nos artistes, voilà le grand défi que nous devons aujourd’hui relever si nous voulons exister et être reconnus dans le monde. La nation québécoise peut-elle se permettre de manquer le bateau de la plus grande entreprise de partage et de diffusion des connaissances de l’histoire de l’humanité ?
Cette IP pose plus de problème qu’elle n’apporte de chose positive à Wikipédia. J’ai donc réévalué le blocage à une durée d’un an.

As society turns to Wikipedia for answers, students, educators, and citizens should understand its limitations when researching scientific topics that are politically charged. On entries subject to edit-wars, like acid rain, evolution, and global change, one can obtain – within seconds – diametrically different information on the same topic.
