Wikipedia's reliability

I thought last night's discussion of where Wikipedia gets its authority (and what "authority" means when it comes to Wikipedia). I may write up my notes at some point and I believe the Berkman Center will post the session as a podcast sometime fairly soon. But I should note that the Harvard Crimson's small write-up of it gets it a bit wrong; it seems to imply that I was arguing that Wikipedia is unreliable and that SJ Klein, my friend and Wikipedian, had to step in to defend Wikipedia's honor. In fact, my premise was that Wikipedia is remarkably reliable, but not for the traditional reasons. [Tags: wikipedia]
