Wikipedia is wonderful – the most heavily footnoted research tool in history.
Sure wish you’d qualified your blanket putdown, Jake. Never rely on it as your SOLE source of info, for example.
Sigh.
Yes, it is nice and all, and the footnotes are great, but the story I linked to was about some journos who obviously didn’t read those footnotes or check the facts presented to them on Wikipedia, like any good journalist would. I’ve updated the entry to include “sole” but my linked story is still relevant.
