Wikipedia

[DanaC]

Yes... I'd like to see a textbook that updates itself every three hours. Clearly, we should fight to stamp out this new evil. Burn- I mean BAN it!

The difficulty with wikipedia isn't that it might contain errors or factual inconsistencies, but that there is no peer review to ensure the quality of the research and analysis. We haven't been comparing it to school text books, rather we've been comparing it to independant and original pieces of scholarship.
