Mentions of Wikipedia
Nelson comments that owing to the strong peer-review nature of Wikipedia, editing is really a misnomer. He says that submission for consideration is a more accurate description of how volunteers contribute to the encyclopedia. He also comments about Wikipedia's structure that "it is built on a key part of the Xanadu data structure; each page is a series of quotations, or transclusions from separate editing operations."[2]
