Angela Beesley's wiki

How and Why Wikipedia Works was the subject of my Keynote at WikiSym 2006, and the subject of an interview that Dirk Riehle conducted with me, Elian, and Aphaia. Feel free to add your own thoughts on this below.

[edit] Tell me why you think Wikipedia works...

Wiki systems work through the social principle of the total being greater than the sum of its parts. Even small changes, like correcting a misspelling, or adding a suggestion for someone else to follow up on, are contributions that help develop the site into something more than any one person could do.
