I'm actually surprised that Reagle isn't being pilloried on noticeboards for "helping to destroy" Wikipedia.
Say what you will about his fanboyism, or his questionable research and writing skills (
self-admitted).
Lately he's been publishing a number of papers (always with co-authors, making them more difficult to dismiss) that tend to cast the Magical Wiki in a less-than-optimal light.
We already have a case of Ironholds attempting to verbally belittle Reagle on IRC ("Reaglesodomy").
No doubt there are others, unrecorded because they were in private channels.
Related thread, about another paper,
here, with above-mentioned response by Reagle. As pointed out therein, Wallis's paper has one major weakness: his statement about Wikipedia's "refusal to decline into mess of destructive in-fighting", which I'm sure most of you would find to be risible. It's been a mess of destructive infighting since 2005, and is simply organized so as to
hide the infighting.
