Encyclopedia Britannica’s Dig at Wikipedia’s Disclaimer and Wikipedia Digs Back
A letter to the editor from Wikipedia contributor Samuel Klein points out that Encyclopedia Britannica has a disclaimer similar to the one Dr. Dale Hoiberg made fun of in the September 9th Washington Post article.
“Britannica’s editors are among those who take a skeptical view, noting that Wikipedia publishes a disclaimer stating that it does not vouch for its own validity. ‘We very much take responsibility for all the content we include in any of our products,’ said Britannica editor in chief Dale Hoiberg.”
Of course, it’s on sj’s blog, too.
Addendum 9/19: In the print edition, it’s on page A24 in a beautiful text box.
