About errata wiki group

weakish 17 years, 9 months ago at Aug 10 10:18 -
Some books have errata web pages, but some not. I have a idea that we can build a wiki for errata pages. One wiki page for one book. If that book already have a offical errata web page, just give a redirect link. If not, we make our own. Since it's based on wiki, everyone can edit. You can share mistakes you found and make use of errata posted by others.

If you are interested, please join this group. I am planing to build this errata wiki on wikia.com (provided by the same company who host wikipedia). In fact, I have sent an application to wikia.com. By joining this group, you can help this application get approved.

If you have any questions or suggests, please post a new thread or just reply to this thread. Thanks in advance.

It's an eagle with two heads. Duh.

If this is a way of allying Listal with Wikipedia, then it might be nice. Wikipedia might have a reputation for inaccuracy, but it has a lot of power on the internet. And a lot of contributors.

"In the end, the journal found just eight serious errors, such as general misunderstandings of vital concepts, in the articles. Of those, four came from each site. They did, however, discover a series of factual errors, omissions or misleading statements. All told, Wikipedia had 162 such problems, while Britannica had 123.

That averages out to 2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia."

I hate when people bag on Wikipedia.

Oh, I wasn't insulting Wikipedia. I was just stating a general opinion I've noticed. Wikipedia is made up of a community, so the only ones to blame are those who contribute the faulty information.

Though it is refreshing to see actual statistics.
