This One's For Ken...
From the Guardian: Can you trust Wikipedia?Generally, I actually find most of the criticism to be pretty inconsequential and academically snobbish; granted, I wouldn't base my thesis on a Wiki article, but basically the 'experts' in this article concede that factually it is mostly accurate, and then scramble for vague reasons why it is still 'bad' (including my favourite: "It doesn't list my book in the bibliography").
Also, given that 12-year-old boys can pick out errors in Encyclopaedia Britannica, I think the pithy attack by its former editor is pretty rich.

| People who write quotes do it to feel smart. People who read quotes do it to get smarter. People who burn quotes do it to get attention. But those who eat them along with the fortune cookie they came from have found solidarity. ~bf[quote database] |
