Wiki article “Making a Case for a Wiki”
January 31, 2008
You know what’s great about articles like this one ? It’s not some stuff specialist trying to impress everyone. The article is concise, explains the topic expertly and efficiently,and–look at this–it even includes pictures! So what if it’s not 16 pages long on adobe reader; seriously, how can you expect someone to seriously read an article on wikis that long? Also, how can you expect for an article that long to be efficient and not confusing? Sure, it sites lots of fancy, snooty sources, but this article does a good deal of citing as well as says just about as much.
Give me brevity or give me death.

I agree with bergermj. This article does a great job at getting to the point. What i enjoyed was that it not only gives you the benefits and perks of Wiki but also states its flaws. I also enjoyed that it talks about how wiki fits into the big picture, in the present and future. C.

I agree with the issue of brevity. Length can often lead to confusion and, let’s face it, apathy. I know I’m a lot more impressed with an article that can say what it needs to say simply and shortly.
