Study: Wikipedia Accurate But Poorly Written
,----[ Quote ]
| Take that, Wikihaters. A new study says
| Wikipedia is as accurate a source for
| cancer information as a professionally
| reviewed resource â assuming you can wade
| through the lousy prose.
|
| Cancer researchers from Thomas Jefferson
| University compared the accuracy of
| oncology information on the popular open-
| source encyclopedia with that on the
| National Cancer Instituteâs Physician Data
| Query (or PDQ), a professional database
| that is peer-reviewed and edited. Both
| were fact-checked against textbooks to see
| whether cancer patients can trust the
| information theyâre getting online.

DE Act: does the UK qualify for a 2-tier copyright regime?
,----[ Quote ]
| A qualifying copyright holder is a new
| concept under the Digital Economy Act. But
| what is it? And is Ofcom introducing a
| two-tier copyright regime, where those
| with the valuable rights get privileges
| and individual authors get side-lined?
