Response to “History Now: Media Development and the Textual Genesis of Wikipedia” by Kohl, Liebert, and Metten

Meta Moment
How does it change your understanding of writing if “collaborative processes of writing dissolve the central intention of the author” and “the authors only work on passages and never on the entire text” (para. 29)?

Meta Moment Response

It does not make the piece as cohesive. It will not flow as well. This was represented all throughout this reading with just the three authors. Different writing styles can clash and contradict sometimes. I think pieces generally do not benefit from multiple authors except for ensuring information is correct and credible, such as how wiki pages ridicule textual input to ensure all information is accurate and properly cited.
