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?
