Am I the only person tired of seeing so many Wikipedia articles on Hacker News? (Currently there are two in the top 10 and there have been a bunch of others recently.)
Perhaps HN should apply a mild penalty to the wikipedia.org domain, the same as it does to many other sites such as stackexchange.com and theguardian.com.
(And yes I acknowledge the What to Submit guideline (HN:WTS) "Anything that good hackers would find interesting".)
What would be a better source for this information?
I am more likely to read a Wikipedia article than I am to read either marketing material or the same info incompletely rehashed into a more subjective blog post.
I often find myself visiting Wikipedia for the real story behind HN links.
Well, for one thing it's going into production this year (i.e. it's a real thing already). And ronaldx is right, Wikipedia material is worth more than the car's official webpage.
Am I the only person tired of seeing complaints as the first comment on every post ? Especially the ones with the form "<vaguely nice comment> BUT <trashing the whole thing>".
