Though I have some issues with how it is managed and how it is produced, I still consider Wikipedia to be a valuable resource and one that I am quite willing to reference in my articles. And that's the point of this article: Wikipedia is useful to me because I'm sceptical, because I'm careful to read articles in the context of my own wider knowledge, and because I cite them as background, not authority. Other reserachers seem to be doing the same. "Our research shows that scientists are using Wikipedia and it is influencing how they write about the science that they are doing... We need to change the conversation from one of abstinence to intelligent information consumption."
