I hate Wiki and I only quote from it reluctantly, as a true last resort. But I've never respected it or tusted it, and when someone uses it in the discussion I ignore it. The above is illustrative of why.

Fake professor in Wikipedia storm
Volunteers write and edit the site's thousands of articles
Internet site Wikipedia has been hit by controversy after the disclosure that a prominent editor had assumed a false identity complete with fake PhD.
The editor, known as Essjay, had described himself as a professor of religion at a private university.
But he was in fact Ryan Jordan, 24, a college student from Kentucky who used texts such as Catholicism for Dummies. He has now retired from the site.
