А почему в этой энциклопедии не указываются авторы статей?

Потому что статью может написать/отредактировать каждый, даже Вы. :)

Ужас какой. Интересно, встречались ли случаи полного бреда?

Наверняка встречались. Но никто не мешает его и снести :)

В промышленных количествах.

В лингвистическом отделе там явно нужно ввести тоталитаризмЪ и террорЪ. А то там, как бы помяхче выразиться, поп-социолингвистики вышекрыши.

Всё никак не соберусь с духом. С тем, что "морфы образующие одну морфему, называются "алломорфами"" я в первом приближении разделался, а вот постфиксы до сих пор делятся на суффиксы и флексии.

Robert McHenry, один из редакторов "Британники" жжот:

One person's "knowledge," unfortunately, may be another's ignorance. To put the Wikipedia method in its simplest terms:

1. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can submit an article and it will be published.

2. Anyone, irrespective of expertise in or even familiarity with the topic, can edit that article, and the modifications will stand until further modified.

Then comes the crucial and entirely faith-based step:

3. Some unspecified quasi-Darwinian process will assure that those writings and editings by contributors of greatest expertise will survive; articles will eventually reach a steady state that corresponds to the highest degree of accuracy.

.....................................

...The writing is often awkward, and many sentences that are apparently meant to summarize some aspect of Hamilton's life or work betray the writer's lack of understanding of the subject matter. A representative one runs thus:

"Arguably, he set the path for American economic and military greatness, though the benefits might be argued."

All these arguments aside, the article is what might be expected of a high school student, and at that it would be a C paper at best. Yet this article has been "edited" over 150 times. Some of those edits consisted of vandalism, and others were cleanups afterward. But how many Wikipedian editors have read that article and not noticed what I saw on a cursory scan?
