   I think wikipedia has done an outstanding job over the past few years in monitoring the content that is posted on their website. Congratulations to them on their 10 year anniversary, and I hope that it keeps growing and growing.

   Without any hesitation, I would firmly say Wikipedia is THE perfect example of what to do with the Internet.

   I didn't even know who the trekkie monster was, until I hit up Wikipedia.

   Though now that I know, I don't believe I can still say it as firmly.

   don't worry. PR flacks are rushing to pay 'regular contributors' to wikipedia.

   just look at elance.com

   soon, since Jimmy is too cool to pay 'real' editors, his creation will be overrun

   with shills and tools being payed to write utter corporate bullshit

    Donated a few bucks to Wikipedia during their recent fund-raiser. I check out that website at least a half-dozen times a week and felt completely obligated to help them out considering how much I use Wikipedia. No ads, and absolutely the best non-biased information. Hopefully they can keep their integrity and no-ads site going for another 10 years.

    And it's well referenced by an increasing number of papers published by the ACM or IEEE :-)
