[Irtalk] Wikipedia, a Professor's Best Friend - The Chronicle of Higher Education

[Hilton Gibson]

*However, the real reasons for the general dislike of Wikipedia among
scholars reach deeper*. For one, academics used to have the monopoly on
knowledge production. Now a bunch of digital Maoists create and manage
knowledge without any remuneration or even asking for obvious credit. There
has to be at least a little aversion to a project that is so effective in
providing free what academics are paid to provide.
