    facebook posters use this “urge to correct” on their advantage, posting minor mistakes intentionally in public groups, and since there is no thumbs down, it get promoted by means of getting lots of interaction

      I dunno there’s probably better choices but these were what I thought of. Is there a website that has a copy of every public domain music file?

    It would be great if it was just the nerds, and none of the pages had funded contributors pushing their spin.

    Sounds like physics in a way, a chaotic and random energy and focusing itself into positive work, creating something with order.

    It definitely wasn’t nothing but that - you have to start with material to correct. For example, I didn’t make this comment until this post came along.

    That was one of the factors that helped it stick around, it started as an online dictionary you could link to, so you didn’t have to write out an info dump every time somebody asked online about something. Even the biggest pages on there now all started out as small stubs written off from pages in school books. Though that’s also what gained it a bit of reputation early on as it grew quicker than could be managed at times.
