Description

David Auerbach:

" In his book Common Knowledge?: An Ethnography of Wikipedia, Dariusz Jemielniak, a longtime Wikipedia editor and administrator, discusses one of the most epic edit wars of all time, a fierce and unyielding debate over how to refer to the Polish city of Gdansk (sometimes known as Danzig), which went on for four years before being settled in one enormous vote, with no real consensus ever reached. Another long debate ensued over how to name and index leaker Chelsea Manning."
