What is the difference between Knol and Wikipedia


Difference between Knol And Wiki

 
Let the battle begin
 
By commenting we can create a definition.
 

Reginald Patterson

Wikipedia for example, does not allow original work to be added as new entries;

The knowledge environment is being driven by the fact that small and individual entities have been enabled, by greater information access, to unleash the power of their genius directly upon the marketplace without having to go through the red tape of traditional "brick and mortar" business processes. The only thing that matters today is being right.
 In other words, the promotion of a group mentality(red. as in Wiki) can stifle creativity

Knol is spicy.
 
To sharpen your mind you cann't use factual data only. You have to develop a vision. What is it that I want to tell, wat is my opinion. What kind of arguments do I need and how valid are they. Courage to state something you believe in, something inspiaring.
 
Sunflowers are sunflowers. Sunflowers painted by Vincent van Gogh is something else!

Many good things are happening in Knol.
 
Many articles in various subjects have appeared in knol.
Many distinguished persons have registered with knol as authors.
Many of them are developing a series of articles in the subjects of their expertise
 
 Knol's main aim is to create authoritative articles about specific topics.

But the platform provides an opportunity for experimentation by authors to provide various formats. But unless the main objective is fulfilled to a large extent, Knol may not succeed in the first place to provide opportunity for other forms of expression by us (author community).

Therefore make an attempt to certify knols by any other author as an authoritative knol. If we can certify a great number of knols as authoritative articles we can make a noise about it in various forms of media. If we can't then we have to change our approach to creating knols. Start.

Knol debates is not one difference between knol and wikipedia. They have the possibility of discussion between experts.
What I am looking for is a restricted (in time and perhaps amount of experts) debate with formal rules.
But also a an active outcome. What is the "winning" expert doing with his victory and how can we -also resticted in time- follow that. Let's say Different groups: arts, science etc. and than a competition. We must have the possibility to vote.

This knol is an authoritative article - Self Certification the Author

How many of your knols are original and authoritative articles on a specific topic? Self certify yourself. Make an entry of the knol that you self certify here.

Good things in Knol

Good things happening in Knol
Many good things are happening in Knol. But still we do not know them. If opened a knol to record the good things that we know. We can take information from this knol and then write in our blogs about the good things that are happening. If we do not take such initiatives we read only bad things about knol in various blogs and forums. We the authors of knol need to take a proactive interest in recording good things that are happening because of the launch of knol.

We are making various feature requests and we know some of them are getting implemented. Let us get down to writing good things about knol also. The knol id is
