So not one but two must-read/sees in the same news cycle...

http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200609/wikipedia

by Marshall Poe

and "Wikiality" on "The Word" on the Colbert Report.

Did you know the number of elephants in Africa has tripled in the past 10
years? 8-D

Enjoy!

No but I do know we know have a number of vandle hunters who react
somewhat balisticaly to that phrase and that User:Stephencolbert has

We really should invite Stephen to stop in at Wikimania. But I've
made the suggestion several times now that we should be talking to the
people at TDS & TCR, but so far nobody has paid any attention. Rob
Corddry is a Bostonian; we could have ended up with a feature segment
on TDS.

The latest fad in the media seems to be making fun of a non-profit
attempt at information. The people tend to have a tendency of
believing the news sources that are more popular, so it might be a
subtle attempt to put us down.

What a conspiratorial accusation.
