How can Wikipedia maintain and grow its ability to
harness the crowdsourcing of its “Wikipedians” to
maintain high-quality (and quickly updated) content?
2. As Wikipedia keeps growing, do you think it can
continue to rely exclusively on donations (in time

“violate the spirit of Wikipedia”? Why or why not?
3. What, if anything, should Wikipedia do to ensure
that its articles indeed present a “neutral point
of view”? Shouldn’t the crowdsourcing approach
ensure an objectivity? Does a “neutral point of
view” matter to Wikipedia’s sustainability? Why or
why not?
4. How has the “long tail” affected Wikipedia?
