Wikipedia Co-founder Bothered by WikiLeaks

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales is not a fan of WikiLeaks. At a conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, today, he referred to the whistleblowing site’s release of Afghan war documents as irresponsible and dangerous–and he also made it clear he disapproves of the use of the term “wiki” in its name, which implies that it’s a site that allows collaboration. “I wish they wouldn’t use the name; they are not a wiki. A big way that got famous in the first place was by using the word wiki, which was unfortunate in my view.”
