Former Feinstein staffer edited Wikipedia entries / Changes raise questions about reference Web site:
"Wikipedia operates as an 'open source' information site that anyone can add to or edit -- viewed as a strength and a weakness of the site that Hitwise tracked as the second-most visited Internet reference site after Dictionary.com. The idea is that self-policing in that its users will find and correct inaccuracies, continually improving the content."

Wikipedia has been around quite a while. It's not a secret how it works. It is ONE source. It never claimed to be the all-knowing, 100% accurate, complete source for any question or research topic. I'm getting pretty tired of the sudden outrage over Wikipedia. I think it is wonderful but, like everything in life, caveat emptor.
