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...
