| 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.

 Did they bother correcting it?  Or did they just scoff, complain, and then turn away?
 
 It seems like Wikipedia can only get better, and having actual experts put a little care into it would be useful.

 | Gil, what would they get out of it? It's hard to hold a wine and cheese about such things... |  |  |
