This totally predates Wikipedia.

Wikipedia started off a Nupedia; it wasn’t originally a wiki where lots of people could write one page - it was going to require formally qualified experts to write each article. One of the Wikipedia founders firmly believes in this approach and now runs Citizendium.

So for Stallman to say in 1999 that one person with some low qualifications like a schoolteacher could write one page is reasonable :-)

The nifty thing with Wikipedia is that it is a wiki and that lots of people write one page. Not 'one person' writes 'one page'.</p> I am very sorry but I have to disagree.
