Colleagues,
You probably saw Kit Seelye's smart Week-in-Review story about inaccurate information in Wikipedia. In case you didn't, please take a look. Since the story ran, she has received a number of e-mail messages about other inaccurate information on Wikipedia. We shouldn't be using it to check any information that goes into the newspaper.

You mean the "Paper of Record" has been using WP to check their facts? Don't they realize how frequently we use *them* as a source? Shades of the Cheney/Miller echo chamber, geez...
