Hi all,
  Apologies to those who read it, but there was an interesting article
about the value of Wikipedia in academia, based on several academic
mailing lists:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2006-07-31/Listserv

It includes this rich quote: "...it is extremely useful as a
springboard for further research. It will be impossible to find
anything on "goosing" or "Dirty Sanchez" in the more respectable
(elitist?) encyclopedias, or much on more obscure forms of sexual
behaviour."

I can't wait to see this get used in future AfDs :)

Steve
