There will be a discussion of encyclopedias, including, of course, Wikipedia, on the "You and Yours" programme on BBC Radio 4 tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon.
For those who missed it, the permanent link to the description of today's program is http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/index_20041117.shtml and you can access the Encyclopedias segment with this RealPlayer [ick] link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/youandyours/ram/youandyours_20041117_5.ram
You might want to seek forward a few minutes to the discussion part (about 8 minutes in, I think); the first half is a more magazine-y thing with families challenging each other to find facts. I must say, I thought Wikipedia came off quite well; well done Angela, and thank you for spreading the "good word of wiki" :)
