YouTube & Yahoo Videos

I did a search for "librarians" on Yahoo Videos and came accross a clip from the Colbert Report where Robert Colbert interviews the Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. They discussed the issue of anyone being able to add information to Wikipedia regardless of merit. In the example given, Robert Colbert had gone in and deliberately put an misleading entry under Elephants stating that the population had tripled and there was now an overpopulation of elephants. Apparently there is a process whereby such entries are monitored and the person entering the wrong information is contacted and asked to behave and if this doesn't work, then they are blocked from any future editing. In serious cases, they put a block on the entry itself so the material can't be changed by anyone. A very amusing & informative interview.
