Wikipedia.com Review

Suggestions for using Wikipedia Intelligently

• 1. Don't believe everything you read.
• 2. Use the Ben Bradlee (Washington Post editor - Watergate era)...If you want me to print it get another source. Ironically, you can read what Bradlee thinks about Wikipedia at Wikipedia.
• 3. Wikipedia is to research like a newspaper is to a library.
• 4. Use the Sergeant Joe Friday approach (Dragnet) - Just the facts mam.
• 5. Take small children to BIG libraries (college, university, The New York Public Library, The Library of Congress) before they can read. Experiencing a BIG library will install awe and perhaps confidence one can find facts and maybe truth.
