Links to Interesting Articles on Wikipedia
There's been a lot of discussion about Wikipedia in the media, and some writers raise some interesting issues that merit discussion. I will list articles here, and from time to time I will let you know which ones you should read in advance of one of our Thursday discussions about Wikipedia.

Julie Bosman, "After 244 Years Encyclopaedia Britannica Stops the Presses," New York Times 13 March 2012 (EB is portrayed as the victim of Wikipedia; the comments are great)

Timothy Messer-Kruse, "The Undue Weight of 'Truth' in Wikipedia" Chronicle of Higher Education 12 February 2012.

Ivor Tossell, "Here Come the Wikipedia Police", Globe and Mail 23 June 2006.
