Wow. That's disturbing. There are times when the influence of Wikipedia makes me distinctly uncomfortable...if I make a mistake in what I write, if I screw something up, I have changed "knowledge". Yet again, I wish that the world understood that Wikipedia is a beta.
I think of Wikipedia more like "my first encyclopaedia" than "beta" as such. Sometimes beta software is pretty good. You can use beta software to run your business. I don't think any serious professional or academic would be trusting their reputation on "my first encyclopaedia".
