T. Campbell: Webcomics v. Wikipedia

T. Campbell digs into the ongoing tussle between various webcartoonists and the contributor-driven on-line encyclopedia wikipedia. At issue is the idea of "non-notability," the standards by which wikipedia editors purge articles in order to better pursue its broader goals. Why would a webcomic with thousands of readers be non-notable? Campbell conducts two interviews which may serve as a introduction to those who haven't been following the stretched-out, multi-front rhetorical battle, and should serve to those who have as a source of important statements from a side less represented.
