There have been a number of articles on how horrible some of Wikipedia's entries are, simply because of all the groupthink that goes into them. Wikipedia's strength is that anybody can contribute to the articles, but unfortunately their greatest liability is that anybody can contribute to Wikipedia.
This really doesn't strike me as news, as I thought it was well established that Wiki was good for little more than quick lookups of facts and random trivia. Hell, there's more effort put into articles for recaps of Power Rangers episodes than actual factual data. There's a disgusting amount of groupthink that permeates many articles, and people are constantly trying to push their own wierd agendas in various underhanded ways. Me, I have to ask when Wikipedia had any credibility to begin with.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
