In The April 2 edition of Time, Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia answers questions about Wikipedia, and in response to a question about using Wikipedia for school assignments says: "I would agree with your teachers that that isn't the right way to use Wikipedia. The site is a wonderful staring point for research. But it's only a starting point because there is a chance that there's something wrong and you should check your sources if you are wirting a paper." We just ran off copies for all of our teachers who seem not to know or care about the pitfalls of Wikipedia. I was happy to see that even the founder admits to its limitations. **************************** Juliann T.
