"Of course, for students, Wikipedia is the miracle cure for
procrastination (and there's science to back that up; a recent poll
showed that nine out of 10 doctors suggested Wikipedia as a cure to
putting homework off. The other 10 percent were too busy uploading
spurious entries to participate in the poll)."

we're fallible and we do our best, but it's a perpetual working draft
and this is a feature rather than a problem - and there's no
substitute for thinking.
