A Wiki Situation

Inside Higher Ed :: A Wiki Situation

The expression “data out the wazoo” may apply. Still, rare is the week when I don’t glance over at least half a dozen articles from Wikipedia. (As someone once said about the comic strip “Nancy,” reading it usually takes less time than deciding not to do so.)Basic cognitive literacy includes the ability to evaluate the strengths and the limitations of any source of information. Wikipedia is usually worth consulting simply for the references at the end of an article — often with links to other online resources. Wikipedia is by no means a definitive reference work, but it’s not necessarily the worst place to start.

A nicely done review of the place for Wiki-pedia. Should it be the answer to all of our questions? No. Should it not be considered when answering questions? No. The answer lies some place inbetween.
