Comments on Wiki chapter (Lyndell)
Wow--this chapter contains a lot of well-researched information!

I believe that "UTube" should be "You Tube."

Overall, I would suggest that the chapter have a more conversational tone rather than the academic tone that prevails. I like your style of writing and would have enjoyed it more if you had paraphrased some of the quotations and inserted more of your thoughts and examples. For instance, in the "atlassian" quote, an example of uses of spreadsheets and an example of "social experiments" might have been very interesting.

While repetition is useful, perhaps some of the redundancy could be reduced. With all of the ways wikis can be used in education and business, how the average Church member can use them gets lost a bit.

Although you have made the case for the value of Wikipedia articles, you might want to address the issue of why many instructors in high school, and especially college, do not allow students to reference them in research papers (although they encourage them to follow the Wiki references links). In English 316 (Tech. Communication) at BYU, Wiki references are specifically prohibited.
