'Islamo-fascism' posters turn heads

By Allyson Bennett | October 25, 2007

Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, advertised by controversial posters depicting a terrorist holding a gun to a figure's head as the person cowers on the ground, has aroused emotional responses among students concerned about the connotations of the event's title. The event, occurring at over 200 universities, is sponsored nationally by the Terrorism Awareness Project to "confront the two Big Lies of the political left: that George Bush created the war on terror and that Global Warming is a greater danger to Americans than the terrorist threat," according to the project's website. The event began on Monday and will culminate on Friday with a speech by Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and the author of two New York Times bestsellers about Islamic jihad.

Study: Anon. Wikipedia users prove most accurate

October 22, 2007

Anonymous users of the online encyclopedia Wikipedia may provide content of comparable quality to that provided by registered users, according to an April 2007 study conducted by Dartmouth students and faculty. The project, which grew out of an earlier study focused on trust in computing, was conceived by professor Denise Anthony, chair of the sociology department, computer science professor Sean Smith and Tim Williamson '05, a former computer science major. The Wikipedia study analyzed the relative number of contributions and the length of time for which they remained unchanged between registered users, or "Zealots," and anonymous users, or "Good Samaritans." The research aimed to determine whether content quality is better for Zealots, who are motivated by reputation in the Wikipedia community to produce accurate articles. A computer program written by Williamson randomly selected about 1,700 of each type of user from two foreign language versions of the encyclopedia, and then compared contribution statistics for each group.
