Good.

Perhaps people will stop quoting it in here and do some real research.


There is a current vogue of denigrating Wikipedia. Whilst its format of
allowing anyone to edit content occasionally leads to erroneous or
mischievous entries, by and large it is an extremely useful reference for
those who haven't the time or knowhow to hunt down original references.
I get the feeling that there is a campaign to rubbish it, because it is
free - and so limits other publishers from making money by selling the same
information. They would clearly benefit from its being thought of as
worthless.
