Colleagues,
You probably saw Kit Seelye's smart Week-in-Review story about
inaccurate information in Wikipedia. In case you didn't, please take a
look. Since the story ran, she has received a number of e-mail
messages about other inaccurate information on Wikipedia. We shouldn't
be using it to check any information that goes into the newspaper.
