You can't edit an email once it's been sent out. ;) Wikipedia is the site that everyone loves to hate, and that almost all younger people, including those in the top tier of the journalism industry, love to consult as a starting point to find out about a new topic. It's an unruly democracy/technocracy with an overgrowth of rules, regulations, guidelines, technicalities and useless dogma. As an organization of people collaborating on their own time on a summary of human knowledge, they're gradually tackling problems on a scale that has not seen before. It is quite possible that other collaborative encyclopedia ventures, with a better collaboration model, will come along in the next few years and gradually replace them in the way that search engines and Web sites have come and gone (think Alta Vista, Digg, Yahoo!, AOL, MySpace, etc.).
As long as one keeps in mind the need to ignore a lot of what one reads there, it's a fantastic site. I think the researchers who took a look at the site are just saying in researchese what everyone already kind of realizes.
