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/Listser...
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 :)
