Wikipedia:What it thinks it is


This article describes:

  • How to track self claims, self-references, and self-links in Wikipedia articles
  • Guidelines on adding self-claims, etc, to Wikipedia articles
  • Links to some attempts to compile lists of self-claims, etc

There are wider philosophical question of whether Wikipedia can think, and whether the Wikipedia community can be said to comprise a group mind. They are quietly swept under the carpet here... mind the bump.
