Letter: Wikipedians

Published 21 January 2009

From Robert Cailliau

Wikipedians are disagreeable and closed to new ideas, according to one survey (3 January, p 19).

Could this be because we have to resist continually the agreeableness and new ideas of creationists, revisionists, flat-earthers and other quacks?
