Wikipedia is home to many weird and wonderful definitions, but some of its editors took deep exception to the inclusion of "Enterprise 2.0". As a self-confessed Wikipedia virgin, Mike Stopforth had put up his original definition thinking that the idea was to get a draft up so it could be refined by the community. But, he told IWR, "I was not helped, assisted or counselled. Just squashed by some Wikipedian."

The Wikipedia committee rejected the term on the grounds that it was "a neologism of dubious utility".

Neologism? The term had already been taken up by a large community of professionals working in this space, and in more than 25,000 blog posts. Enterprise 2.0 has legs, as they say, even though they are slightly shaky.

"Web 2.0" appeared in Wikipedia just four months after it was first publicised. It's now six months since Enterprise 2.0 appeared. And even the smartest people in the industry wouldn't dare make a judgement call on its "utility", dubious or otherwise, at the moment.
