Abstract
Aus einem kleinen InternetProjekt ist ein ernst zu nehmender Herausforderer geworden. Kann Wikipedia, das kostenlose Gemeinschaftsprojekt im Internet, den beiden Enzyklopädieriesen Encarta und Brockhaus auf DVD die Butter vom Brot klauen? Jahrelang galt Microsofts Encarta in der WeIt des Wissens als das Maß aller Dinge. Dann legte die CD-ROM/DVDVersion des Brockhaus gewaltig nach und drohte den Platzhirschen zu entmachten. In unserem letzten Test vor vier Jahren lagen beide Mammutwerke nahezu gleichauf an der Spitze. Jetzt fordert die beiden erfolgsverwöhnten Lexikonriesen ein Konkurrent heraus, den eigentlich niemand so richtig auf der Rechnung hatte: das InternetProjekt Wikipedia. Die freie Enzyklopädie im Web wächst immer schneller und wird immer beliebter. Es scheint nur noch eine Frage der Zeit zu sein, bis sie mit den 240 000 Artikeln des großen Brockhaus Premium gleichzieht. Für die ersten 100 000 Artikel brauchte die deutsche Wikipedia-Szene noch drei Jahre - im Frühjahr dieses Jahres knallten die Sektkorken, um das freudige Ereignis zu begießen. Inzwischen ist die Zahl der Einträge bereits auf über 140 000 angewachsen. Die große Stärke des InternetLexikons, seine Popularität, ist allerdings auch seine gefährlichste Schwäche. Jeder kann auf der Webseite www.wikipedia.de kostenlos Informationen abrufen, aber auch jeder, ganz gleich ob Nobelpreisträger oder Laie, darf sie schreiben oder bearbeiten.
Fazit Wikipedia erreichte mit 3,6 Zählern im Inhaltstest die höchste durchschnittliche Gesamtpunktzahl - das entspricht einem schwachen Gut. Die WikipediaGemeinde scheint das Verlässlichkeitsproblem - es fehlt eine Redaktion, die Artikel auf ihre Richtigkeit hin überprüft - langsam in den Griff zu kriegen. Schließlich unterlaufen trotz aller Kontrollen auch den kommerziellen Konkurrenten Fehler. Schwerer wiegt das Verständlichkeitsproblem, besonders dann, wenn es um schwierige mathematische und wissenschaftliche Expertenthemen geht. An vielen exzellenten Wikipedia-Fachartikeln werden Laien, die den Umgang mit Formeln nicht gewöhnt sind, schwer zu schlucken haben. Sie müssen sich das zum Verständnis nötige Hintergrundwissen erst erarbeiten und wären letztlich mit einem fachlich nicht ganz so guten, aber besser verständlichen Encarta-Artikel besser bedient. Wikipedia ist das Nachschlagewerk für den neugierigen Wissenschaftler mit guter Allgemeinbildung, der auf Videos, Animationen und multimediale Elemente keinen Wert legt.
