wacky wiki

i often use wikipedia as a quick reference...

however, since former journalist John Seigenthaler went public with a faulty entry, the site has been under fire. meanwhile, this site has been skeptical of the project all along.

in a bid to improve its system, wikipedia now requires registration to edit entries. at the same time, journal Nature vets scientific themed articles with relatively positive results.

[update: the uk register dashes the nature analysis with some perspective]

all in all, use wikipedia (and the rest of the internet) with some skepticism...
but who didn't know that already...?
