I Saw It On The Internet, So It Must Be True
-
Here's a glowing article about how, after 18 years, Wikipedia is great. One thing the article doesn't talk about is this: Wikipedia is also often grossly inaccurate, yet is becoming accepted as gospel anyway. I've been noticing that after comparing some things in Wikipedia to actual newspaper reports from days past on Newspapers.com. I don't have the time to go in and change the misinformation. Remember Stephen Colbert's "truthiness"? That's Wikipedia. And we accept it because we don't really care. (San Francisco Chronicle)
