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.



Wikipedia is dramatically better than it was only a couple of years
ago, but some still criticise it on the basis of how it used to be.

I think the improvement is a result of people actively editing
Wikipedia to correct inaccuracies rather than pointing the finger and
passively moaning about it. But some people are still whining ...


I wish someone would edit the article on Superlens... I don't understand
a word of it.



That's a classic. ;-)
