The Guardian has a story entitled "Can you trust Wikipedia?" in which various specialists rate Wikipedia articles in their field of knowledge: http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1599116,00.html
As I also posted in another thread roughly on this topic, although we should be concerned whether or not Wikipedia is trustworthy we shouldn't get ourselves too concerned about the register's "articles" about Wikipedia since every single article is clearly biased against wikipedia beyond factuality so the register slamming us with criticism is just business as usual.
No, but we _should_ be concerned about the _Guardian's_ articles about Wikipedia.
Because the Register isn't trustworthy, but the Guardian is.
On a trustworthiness scale of 0 to 10, I'd pesonally score the Register as 3, the Guardian as 9.5.
And Slashdot as 2, Drudge as 4, and Wikipedia as, um, about a 7?
