Wiki Woes

In keeping with our earlier post on the limitations of Wikipedia, a great piece in The New Yorker on how it came about, those (often compulsive) people who add to it, and its limitations in knowledge and readability. The article is here.

Update: Seth Doherty sends along this appropriate addition to the discussion--a somewhat different stylistic take on the issue compared to the article above. Thanks, Seth.
