		<description>I agree with this post for the most part. But I think you have to be careful when reading and writing for Wikipedia.</description>

		<description>Wiki has grown so much and so fast that they dominate almost ever search results page that I have seen! 

I have learned a lot through watching this growth and have started taking notes on their linking structure and implementing it with great success for many of my clients!

This has been an excellent read and I hope to read all of your posts very soon! Thanks!</description>

		<description>At first, I ignored the mistakes. This was only Wikipedia, after all. But the landscape of knowledge has changed since then, and I have joined the club. Wikipedia should always be taken with a pinch of salt. But the more we contribute and revise, the less salt we will need. We are all Wikipedists now.</description>

		<description>Hello Andy, 

I wonder whether Wikipedia is likely to be cited more often in books than in journal articles? Books tend to be broader, more general in scope, and are thus more likely to need to cite an encyclopedia-type article. 58 references doesnÂ’t really seem that big a number, although the rate of increase is certainly interesting.

I will say that I hate the ubiquitous language about whether to Â“citeÂ” Wikipedia, which even you use, sir. My feeling is that whoever consults it should cite it, whether student or scholar. (With, of course, the rather large and fuzzy exception for general knowledge that doesnÂ’t need to be cited.) What ought to be at issue is whether to consult Wikipedia. I always tell my students to do a Â“Works ConsultedÂ” list rather than a Â“Works CitedÂ” list, partly for this reason. The bibliography, however named, should be an honest record of the sources that formed oneÂ’s thinking, provided so that the reader can 1) judge the authority of the sources and 2) retrieve the sources.</description>

		<description>Hey MBA Colleges in India,

I thought your note on Wikipedia was really sharp, so hence its appearance in the post. (I seem to be mentioning you a lot lately, but you keep putting out good stuffÂ…) Thanks for adding the bit about pop culture, another important point. Many of the Wikipedia citations I looked at were indeed about pop culture.</description>

		<description>Wikipedia is one of the most important resource. I tend to key in wikipedia + &#039;keyword&#039; when I need to have a detail explanation on whatever I&#039;m looking for. Especially important when it comes to biographys of famous people.

Though open to edits, I must say the accuracy is almost 95% accurate as they have internal monitoring as well. So it is almost 99% audited by another team of people.</description>

		<description>I cited Wikipedia in several instances in Mechanisms. I included the following note in the book:
Â“In several places Mechanisms references Wikipedia as a scholarly source of record, usually for some specific point of technical documentation. Information technology is among the most reliable content domains on Wikipedia, given the high interest of such topics among WikiepdiaÂ’s readership and the consequent scrutiny they tend to attract. Moreover, the ability to examine Page Histories on Wikipedia allows a user to recover the editorial record of a particular entry, with every revision to the text date- and time-stamped and versioned. Attention to these editorial histories can aid in allowing users to exercise sound judgment as to whether or not the information before them at any given moment is controversial to its audience, and I have availed myself of that functionality when deciding whether or not to rely on Wikipedia.
Â“Wikipedia itself, whose developers leverage their softwareÂ’s content modeling to expose document histories with a precision, transparency, and granularity unprecedented in printed publications outside the realm of genetic editions and textual scholarship, is a working example of the mechanisms I discuss herein.Â”
In additional to information technology, which I mention above, Wikipedia is also indispensable (and usually authoritative) on pop culture. Anyone working on the Sopranos or The Wire, for instance, would find a wealth of material not otherwise available, including exhaustive episode by episode plot guides.</description>
