Wikinomics: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything by Don Tapscott and Anthony D. Williams explores how some companies in the early 21st century used mass collaboration and open-source technology such as wikis to be successful.

Europe at War 1939-1945 No Simple Victory by Norman Davies mentions Wikipedia in Chapter 6 (Portrayals), page 460/461 with the words: [A]nd there is Wikipedia, the self-regulating Internet encyclopedia, to which anyone can contribute.
