In November last year I wrote about Wikipedia's desire to burn its entire website to CD and make it available to schools in the developing world. I didn't like this idea, only because I feared that since there is no official checking of the facts, Wikipedia could (and would) spew bad information. Isn't that a great way to keep the poor down?
Anyway, Frank Ahrens at the Washington Post writes that "many teachers and professors have forbidden their students to use, or at least cite, information found on Wikipedia and similar user-generated sites."
