Wiki Los Angeles Times

Le journal Los Angeles Times a créé un wiki pour faire l'expérience du journalisme coopératif. Cela a fait long feu a cause du vandalisme. Voir http://www.01net.com/editorial/282414/presse-en-ligne/le-wiki-a-l-ecole-de-l-information/

Mercredi 29 juin, Michael Kinsley, promoteur de ce projet et éditorialiste au LA TIMES, discutera dans l'émission de radio en ligne Open Source de l'expérience Wikitorials (19h00 horaire de Boston US côte est).

Open letter to the Los Angeles Times about the failure of their Wikitorial-experiment.

ma: I did not actually directly follow the wikitorials raise and fall, I just read about the project before and afterwards, and I saw the attempt for an open letter to the newspaper on

today. This is an application for a collab-editor I thought rightaway: It is important to react fast, before the laughter about wiki and how vulnureable it is fades away. Thanks to the LA Times for being so courageous to come up with wikitorials. But why did nobody care for the experiment? Why wasn't the vandalismn reverted just as it gets done on every working wiki? Why was the experiment given up instead?

Unfortunately, we have to remove this feature, at least temporarily, because a few readers were flooding the site with inappropriate material. Thanks and apologies to the thousands of people who logged on in the right spirit.

• That's what it says on on the url where the LAT-wiki, Los-Angeles-Times-wiki was before. So basically there seems to be hope for the project as it says temporarily and as they might discover that the flooding by a few on a wiki can easily reverted. I also wonder why the thousands didn't help on reverting it. Having started up with a very controversial theme as the Iraq-war was a mistake. Alowing the upload of pictures has been a mistake too.
