I doubt the fad will last that long and anything significant will have been dealt with through other sources. I suspect the challenge in a few decades will be sources that change a fair bit and don't publicly change log to to the extent wikipedia does. Cite:Interactive media has the potential to be interesting Legally speaking citing stuff that is protected by defunct DRM may be a future problem. For the rather longer term citing interplanetary sources is going to be one of the problems an interplanetary wikipedia would face. -- geni _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
