The Wikipedia effect edit

This article is a good example of the distorted view of history that Wikipedia will eventually produce for students. In 2012 memory still preserves the knowledge that James Goldman, with his brother William and their childhood friend and roommate, John Kander, were three titans of mid-century theater, film and music. But James Goldman isn't remembered by the average twenty-something Wiki editor, and he gets a biography smaller than actors who played supporting characters on LOST or CSI Miami. For subjects before 1990, which is as far back as most Wiki editors personally recall by 2012, Wikipedia should be corrected by traditional print sources. Profhum (talk) 05:32, 13 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
