Wikipedia is useful to academics. PhD students seem to love it, particularly on home exams. Wiki stuff is quite easy to spot, tho, as it is quite difficult to paraphrase passages that have been paraphrased and re-paraphrased. On a lighter note, The Waterboys's main man Mike Scott tried to correct his own wiki profile. Ah, read more about it here:

That story about the Waterboys is funny and sad at the same time. It very clearly described a similar situation (fame excepted) that I had while trying to add some info about PG Music's PowerTracks Pro Audio (see earlier post in the thread).
