Short but interesting interview with Wikipedia's founder. Wales makes some good points, but I don't think wikipedia will ever stop being a 'work in progress.' The endless back and forths will continue, not the mention all the little pranks. I couldn't imagine any teacher accepting a citation from wikipedia, but I don't see why they shouldn't accept other encyclopedias. Wales really has it out for Britannica. Case in point: Comics creator Steve Ditko's bio page has a pretty large mistake on his page. As of Dec 14th it says "He is also an exponent of Ayn Rand's philosophy Objectivism and a practicing Chaos magician." He's not a practicing Chaos magician. Screenshot here as of the 15th:
He is actually a big Ayn Rand guy, but he's not an occultist. That's actually Grant Morrison.
