"Wikipedia is a collection. ... One cannot summarily judge its value in the
way that one might have done when deciding whether or not to buy or
recommend a reference book. Judgements about 'authority' and utility have to
be made at the article level, and who has the time and expertise to flag
individual articles in this way? Rather than continuing a tedious Wikipedia
good/Wikipedia bad conversation, we should recognize the attraction it has
as an addressable knowledge base, understand the variety of uses to which it
is put, and remind folks of the judgments they need to make depending on
those uses."


Nice.
