A biology professor argues that wikipedia has won. We should accept this and become one with the borg (forgive the Star Trek analogy).
Editing content in our area of expertise would make wikipedia worthwhile. I am not sure I buy it. Wikipedia can have good information on it, but both we and our students need to be very skeptical of anything presented there. Our editing would only make students that much more willing blindly accept what they read there.
Can you tell that I didn't finish my grading over spring break and am avoiding it this week too?

eh, the way library budgets are going wikipedia will soon be the only thing left anyway.
That editorial was written by a geology professor, not a biologist.
