...indie action, Michael Moore launched Capitalism: A Love Story in just four theaters in New York City and Los Angeles and pulled in a plutocratic $240,000; Moore's cinematic stimulus plan rolls out in full next weekend. Bright Star, Jane Campion's moony tale of the doomed poet John Keats and his soul mate, Fanny Browne, expanded to 130 screens and earned a hearty $682,000 from lovers of sentimental art-house fare. And Coco Before Chanel, one of three biopics of the couturier to be released in theaters or on DVD this year - this one starring Amelie...

Under the new plan, people can freely alter Wikipedia articles on, say, their local officials or company head - but those changes will become live only once they've been vetted by a Wikipedia administrator. "Few articles on Wikipedia are more important than those that are about people who are actually walking the earth," says...
...foundation has been working to address some of these issues; for example, it is improving the site's antiquated, often incomprehensible editing interface. But as for the larger issue of trying to attract a more diverse constituency, it has no specific plan - only a goal. "The average Wikipedian is a young man in a wealthy country who's probably a grad student - somebody who's smart, literate, engaged in the world of ideas, thinking, learning, writing all the time," Gardner says. Those people are invaluable, she notes, but the encyclopedia is missing the voices of people in developing countries, women...
