I stumbled across this article when looking for something critical of Wikipedia that Dawkins had supposedly written, and I don't understand it very well.

Incidentally, does anyone know if Dawkins did, in fact, write an anti-Wikipedia article, and, if so, where I can find it?

Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.

I don't think that critique of an algorithm is going to make any sense without knowing what Dawkins was talking about, originally.
