Could it be Wiki time?

Tuesday, November 14th, 2006

Wikipedia certainly seems to have come a long way in a short time, although there are still those pesky concerns regarding bias and authority.  Not that the average punter seems to care too much about such trivial matters.  Apparently.

Who knew that they had such an excellent quotations section?  Not to mention many other bits that were unearthed recently.  But there does seem to be a major gap in coverage; namely nothing about Warrior Librarianship, the Warrior Librarian, or the best type of coffee to sip on a late night reference desk shift.  How could such a tragedy have occurred?!!!

I’ll have to put this on the list of things to do when I have managed to have myself cloned.

Helpful free templates - more needed?

But there seems to be a number of critical issues that aren’t covered.  They need to add assistance to cover other life-enhancing issues such as:

  • the lack of a cappuccino machine in the tea room,
  • scratchy toilet paper in the facilities area,
  • the nausiating colour of the office carpeting, and
  • the oversight in providing an unlimited supply of free chocolate.

Now I’m looking for the template to complain about the complaint templates …
