First of a two-parter. Seems pretty good to me, the reporter has done  
some work, it's not just a hatchet job. But it's pretty negative  
about Wikipedia.

There is a discrepancy between what WIkipedians know Wikipedia to be  
and what outsiders think it is.

They think it's an encyclopedia.

That discrepancy is going to cause us more and more trouble unless we  
find a better way to deal with it.
