Our resident skeptical crowd-sourcing genius Tim Farley has just released a blog about the Google Knowledge Tool. I had not heard of it, and even if I had it probably would have taken months before I realized its importance on this project.
Tim Farley's "Google Knowledge Graph benefits from skeptic Wikipedia efforts"
Still early news, we are not sure how the image is selected. Or how the suggested pages are selected.
Play around with this, the relationships are so interesting.
Not only does this raise the We Got Your Wiki Back! project to amazing importance levels. We need to make sure to provide skeptical citations on all the paranormal pages. James Randi must be a suggested hit for every psychic. Steven Novella should be a hit for Dr. Oz. Sikivu Hutchinson has a great Wikipedia page, but nothing appears for her on the Google Knowledge Graph.
Still awaiting more information about how this new Google tool works.
But its still extremely exciting!
