The Kim paper is generally positive (though targeting not medical

"These results are compelling and support the thesis that Wikipedia
articles can be used as the foundation for a basic curriculum in
pathology informatics."

What are our median level readers going to do if we suddenly start
including enough pathophysiology images to please the med school

they often should be doing instead of reading Wikipedia. (But if
wishes were horses, beggars would ride....)
