Miscellaneous

Many students ask about Wikipedia Here is an interesting and to me authoritative article on the subject from the New Yorker According to the author Wikipedia has a spectrum of reliability ranging from the article on "Global Warming" which one of Wikipedia's critics claims is the the best article on this subject in print, to articles on a subjects such as G.W.Bush which are revised every few minutes. (I've seen articles on controversial subjects which change several times a day) One person who worked for Wikipedia sums it all up by saying Wikipedia"gives no privelege to those who know what they're talking about."
