Wikipediaaah

I like it for a lot of my routine work; I even link to articles on common things. But, once you consider people and things that are not quite in the limelight, and are just a little obscure and out of the way, it is not as reliable as it is for common things. Reason: there are just not enough people to ensure that what is written about them are fair and balanced.

As the interested contributors and readers dwindle in number, problems mount. If you have any doubt, just ask John Seigenthaler [via slashdot]. Did I just hear you go 'John who?'. I rest my case.
