The Colbert Wikipedia video restarted a lot of the Wikipedia debate on the ili-listserv, which prompted someone to post this link where Nature magazine posts their responses to Encyclopedia Britannica. ’s response to the Nature report that Wikipedia was close to EB in reliability. Some of this may be old news, but I hadn’t seen all the information aggregated at the Nature site before. Could be handy if you’re teaching info lit. Though someone on the list pointed out that in a way, it’s a non-issue because we should be teaching students how to evaluate Web sites in general. There’s no need to treat Wikipedia any differently than any other site.
