But finding the reader submissions that slip through whatever filtering mechanism they have in place is a favorite past time. This one’s pretty tame, but hey, it’s summer.

I also understand that they are adamant about being a credible source rather than a journalistic source. That means that everything must be certified via citation. Obviously, this cannot be.

Tasteless, but it got the point across.

And to be clear, I love Wikipedia. It’s a tremendously useful website. It just has to be kept in perspective. It’s not a source, though it does have a useful list of starting sources on most pages. My big fear is the day that Wikipedia get hit on a class action suit for plagiarism. A surprisingly large proportion of their text is cut/pasted from other sources (usually the listed ones) in a manner that does not meet citation requirements. (It’s yet one more reason to never use Wiki as a formal citation. Ever.)
