Surprised no one has mentioned this so far - there is a very favourable story in today's Guardian newspaper, a two-page spread in its G2 features supplement : "How Wikipedia turned knowledge on its head".

It's pretty fantastic.
They trot out Dale Hoiberg again. He seems to handle most of the questions in this department. I'd still like to see him as a WP advisor (a la http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_ideal_Wikipedia_board )...

Also worth mentioning: the article was flagged on the front page of the main paper (as can be seen at http://digital.guardian.co.uk/guardian20041026.jpg) and dominated the cover of the G2 section (see http://www.steinsky.me.uk/images/G2_wikipedia.jpg - I hope Steinsky doesn't mind me referencing that here; he posted it on IRC earlier). Pretty cool...
