I dislike linking to anything that requires registration, but George Johnson’s piece in yesterday’s New York Times about the accuracy of Wikipedia, entitled “The Nitpicking of the Masses vs. the Authority of the Experts,” is worth a read.

Executive summary: Wikipedia is no less accurate than any other encyclopedia you’re likely to be using.

(And if you need a username and login for the Times and don’t want to register, you can always try Bugmenot.com.)
