No, not for any of the stuff I'm getting into fights about lately,

You see, I was working on edits to one of my personal websites, in
this case one about e-mail formatting and related technical and
cultural issues (
http://mailformat.dan.info/ ). I decided, in the
course of talking about forwarded messages, to refer to the concept
of "glurge", which is the sort of sickeningly-sweet motivational
stuff (Norman Vincent Peale - ish) that gets regularly forwarded
around the net. Usually when I do something like that, I like to
stick in an external link to some place that describes what I'm
talking about, and lately Wikipedia is almost always my first choice
to try to find one.
If your purpose is to link somewhere that describes a term, Wiktionary would
be a better choice than Wikipedia.
