Wikipedia

MANIFESTO

Heretofore, Wikipedia has been a rather disreputable site when it came to legitimate research. L. Gordon Crovitz of the Wall Street Journal begs to differ. The money passage:

Wikipedia is quietly transforming itself into a hybrid of amateurs and professionals. Anyone can create entries—it has 10 million articles in 253 languages—but the ultimate editing is increasingly done by well-trained researchers.

Pedagogues may have to change their opinions about the once maligned site.
